After all, we must comply with the national regulations. If the regulation require compliance with the older edition of the standard and/or the standard with national deviations, we must use the required edition, I think. > Finally, the country in question is Japan.

If your product is covered by the DENAN Law, standard specified by the Law should be used - in this case, J60065 would be applicable. I think most of the test result for 7th edition would be effective also for 6th edition (and J60065), and you have chance to show that the product complies with the requirements mainly through desk check, and with few or no re-testing. In my opinion only. Regards, Tom Tomonori Sato <vef00...@nifty.ne.jp> URL: http://homepage3.nifty.com/tsato/ This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
