Kevin, I cannot believe that we are all cowards here. However, it may be that we are unfamiliar with your subject matter. I, for one, have never heard of the EMC standard EN50130-4, don't know if it falls under the new approach EMC Directive or not, and don't know what other EN standards it may be in conflict with. In other words, I cannot shed light on your subject. I would not be surprised if many have the same problem. It might help if you get a bit more specific here, such as, what are the conflicting EN standards, and what are the specific conflicting clauses.

Does nobody know how to proceed or is everyone just keeping their corporate heads down :)))) Please reply offline if you feel uneasy answering this question in a public forum.

In my company's industry there is an established product family standard for EMC (EN50130-4) but the good people at CENELEC seem to be ignoring the EMC directive, and have published within the last year or two, EN standards which include EMC testing clauses, with methods that are at odds with the EMC document EN50130-4 published in the OJ. Especially troubling to me is the fact that all of the test organisations that test for the industry regulation specification do not accept either third party or self declarations that the product is EMC compliant. I do not wish to test the same product more than once for a single market. What path do you recommend I follow to demand the repeal of these clauses.
