In addition to that: the EEN 61000-6-2 is the newer (IEC originated) version of the EN 50082-2.
Both are valid, EN 50082-2 being in it's end of life, EN 61000-6-2 not yet mandatory . We call this a transitory period. It depends of the products lifespan which one you use. No mystery at all, it happened several times before although it is the first time a generic standard is being replaced.
