For the same problem please note the German proposal to EN 55022:2006 (TC 210/DE0027/NCP). Background
The new edition of EN 55022 (September 2006) has a dop of 2007-04-01. This means that those wishing to use EN 55022:2006 will get knowledge of the complete text of this EN not before April 01, 2007 when the relevant national transposition is finished. It must be taken into account that this EN consists of CISPR 22:2005 with common modifications that must be implemented. However, the dow of the previous edition of EN 55022 (September 1998) is fixed to 2007-08-01. This will lead to the following situation: With the beginning of August 01, 2007 either EN 55022:1998 or EN 55022:2006 shall be applied/fulfilled. This means that users of the standard, especially if they do not know the text of EN 55022:2006 up to now, which is the majority of the SME´s and test service providers, will only have the time from April 01, 2007 to August 01, 2007 for the implementation of the requirements of EN 55022:2006, e.g. concerning limits and methods of measurement for telecommunications ports. Any reproducibility problems had been solved by end of 2000. Also, the calibration procedure has been published as Amendment 2:2003-04 to CISPR 16-1:1999-10. So, the reason for not applying EN 55022:1998 is that now the use of special test equipment (ISNs) to meet the requirements of EN 55022:1998 would only be for a short amount of time until finally new test equipment (new ISNs) is available to meet the requirements of EN 55022:2006. Only IT equipment without telecommunication ports can expect that no problems will arise concerning the change to the application of EN 55022:1998. For EN 55022:2006. the required ISNs are still not available on the market from more than two manufacturers and one of them is lacking a calibration process. Therefore a shift of the dow of EN 55022:1998 , e.g. up to 2009-10-01, would be a contribution to reach sufficient time for users to implement the requirements of EN 55022:2006 for telecommunications ports, to purchase and implement the ISNs specified in EN 55022:2006 and to change the product development and testing in order to match the new requirements. Proposal The German National Committee proposes to shift the dow of EN 55022:1998 to a suitable date, e.g. 2009-10-01. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Yours sincerely Dipl.-Ing.

Loerzer-Mobile (GLOBALNORM)" <loerzer_mob...@globalnorm.de> writes >in the most cases is "dow (CENELEC) = doc (EU journal)". The Commission uses the dull 'doc' for the memorable 'docopocoss', and reserves the right to make the latter different from the former. There is a problem at present with delays in getting new standards notified in the OJ, and this can quite significantly erode the normal 3-year transition period during which a superseded standard is still valid. Manufacturers who participate in the standards work know about new standards in advance, and can plan to comply with them, whereas those (usually smaller) companies that don't do standards work don't know about new standards until they are notified in the OJ, and are thus at a disadvantage. This could be overcome if the Commission would set the docopocoss at 3 years (or whatever transition period is set) after **notification**, not at the dow shown in the standard, which may be many months earlier. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
