Ghery,

Is it a absolute must to test?  If you have reasonable justification that your
products are compliant (the new requirement is wimpy), why not just document
your reasoning and continue to sell product after the DOW?

Jason,

You are correct.  All products placed on the market in the EU must be tested
to the latest standard once the magic date (DOW)  for the new standard is
reached.  Also, keep in mind that if a product specific standard is
published it takes precedence over the generic standard and the generic
standard no longer applies to the product family.  For example, EN
55024:1998 is the product specific immunity standard for ITE, so EN
50082-1:1997 is not used for these products.

This is one more example of why I refer to the EMC Directive as The EMC
Professionals Employment Act of 1989.

Hi all.

EN 50082-1:1992 was replaced by EN 50082-1:1997. According to the
newapproach.org website, from 1/7/2001 the old version no longer allows one
to presume conformity to the EMC Directive.

Does this mean I need to retest all equipment to the new standard before I
can declare conformance?

My guess is YES.

Thanks in advance for any confirmation or correction.
