Don't forget that an EMC standard cannot be used to self-declare compliance
until and unless it is published in the OJ.

Right - the dop is the first date upon which you MAY employ a new
standard
for compliance. The dow is the day by which any conflicting (ie the
old
standard) must be withdrawn and is therefore ineffective. This
makes the
period between dop and dow a transition period. Typically, the new
standard
is tougher than the original, so the transition period is used by
everyone
to ECO their products, retire the dinosaurs, etc. In this case
(assuming
all the dates are correct and it goes according to the plan), the
situation
is a bit upside down - A14 makes compliance to EN61000-3-2 easier.
The dow
for EN61000-3-2 will coincide with the dop of A14, which means on
January
1st, you'll need to comply with EN61000-3-2, BUT you'll have the
option to
use A14 in doing so. For many manufacturers, A14 is the simpler and
easier
path, so I expect that many will take it once it is available.

Fred,
The dow is the date at which conflicting standards must be
withdrawn.
For an ammendment it means the part of the old standard that
conflicts
with the ammendment.
From the doa until the dow you may use either the old unamended
standard or the new ammended version. After the cross over period
you may use only the new amended version.
