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. >- Is the 2006 version on the verge of announcement in the OJ? If so, >it sounds like that should be used to evaluate my product. 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. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
