Don, The new standards have associated with them a date known as the Date of Withdrawal (DoW). That is the date on which the presumption of conformity to the essential requirements of the applicable directive (in this case, the EMC Directive) is withdrawn for the old standards. Any product imported or placed into service in the EC as of that date must have been tested to the new standards. If it is an older product, it must be re-tested.
The DoW for EN 55022:1998 is 1 August 2001. The DoW for EN 55024:1998 is 1 July 2001. These are ITE standards. I'm not sure if there are others that apply to your products. BTW, I'll be in Pullman this weekend if you want to discuss this personally.

I would appreciate some feedback on the following: Let's say I have several existing designs which meet the requirements for CE Marking today (EMC & Safety). What is the requirement for these existing designs when a new standard comes out, let's say six months from now? I think the older designs must be re-designed to meet the new requirements or not be sold into the EU. Is this true? What ammunition is out there for me to prove this fact to the higher-ups?
