I am not sure but from what you say you seem to have missed the point that in most directives, certainly the EMC and LVD it is the individual item that must meet the current standards at the time that item is placed on the market in the EEA or taken into service there for the first time. It is irrelevant when the design was first marketed. If you have tested the design and haven't changed it and the standards you tested the design to are still current. you may carry on marketing copies of that design. When a standard is withdrawn, from that date you may not sell such items until you can show the design meets the new standards
