Hi Al, I do not know of a guide but it is usually stated in the directive what "placing a product on the market" means. It is my understanding that you can not ship(place on the market) anything into the EC that carries the CE mark after the date of withdrawal of a standard that is used to show compliance to a directive. Any products that are stored in a warehouse in the EC can still be sold after the DOW. Work in progress does not count. It must be in the country.

In particular, the introduction of EN 61000-6-2 on April 1st will leave some equipment suppliers with long lead time parts in a quandary over how to declare, especially if they might not meet the surge and dip requirements. Is there a published guidance on the treatment of material that is Work in Progress?
