If you are not connecting the channel bank to the telco, then you should 
not need the Euro certification for telco stuff, just the certification 
for EMI/RFI.  i.e. if you are connecting an E-1 into Asterisk on one 
port of a 4 port Digium card, then you should be able to connect pretty 
much any E-1 OR T-1 channel bank to another port of the card for your 
FXS ports.
