Scott, A test standard or a product family/product standard or a generic standard is ratified/adopted by CEN/CENELEC/ETSI and therefore "applicable" as a normal standard (product liabillity!!!) but NOT under the "CE regime" until the publication in the OJEU! That is a time problem because e. g. the "LVD standards list" will be updated once a year (last publication was on 2006-08-30 http://eur-lex.europa.eu/Lex riServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:C:2006:208:0001:0089:EN:PDF in the OJEU WITHOUT the new versions of EN 60204-1:2006 or EN 60950-1:2006 for example!!!!). We had some difficult discussions in the past 3 weeks with different statements of the German Ministry. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Yours sincerely Dipl.-Ing.

Therefore the new standards haven´t a "presumption of conformity" in the meaning of the "new approach"! We have a long list of new standards under the Low Voltage Directive, EMC, R&TTE Directive, PPE, Toy, Medical and so on with the same problem! We inform our database users about this "special situation" of european harmonized standards. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Yours sincerely Dipl.-Ing.
