EN 61000-3-2 is not a basic standard. It is a product family standard (says so right in the standard plus it is listed in the OJ, basic standards do not show up in the OJ).
Chris has a point, since 61000-3-2 is a stand-alone product family standard (all equipment 16A and under), it is not necessary for anything else to call it up.

You will also find that EN61000-3-2 is called up by the generic standards such as EN61000-6-3. Best regards, Neil R. Barker C.Eng.

What puzzles me is, why does EN55103-1 (pro audio emissions) call up EN61000-3-2? Surely there is no need for the standard to do this?
