The '1998' version is the national implementation of the formal
'publication' by CENELEC of the EN dated 1997, which was probably
published in November or December 1997, so the national standards carry
the 1998 date.

From the public part of the CENELEC web site, you can get:
Standard reference EN 60204-1:200X
Reference document IEC 60204-1:2005 (Modified)
Technical body CLC/TC 44X
IEC technical body IEC/TC 44
Dor 2006-06-01
Dav -
Doa 2006-12-01
Dop 2007-06-01
Dow 2009-06-01
The doa (date of adoption) is not till December, so it would be a bit
premature to use it as soon as it's published.
