If there is no product standard, you apply the relevant Generic standard, which will refer to EN 61000-4-2 for ESD test methods. > Maybe I am missing something but for CE Marking I thought only >standards in the OJ could be used. If that is correct where would the >EN version of 61000-4-2 ever be needed? I'm not sure I understand your point. There are two reasons why CENELEC produces EN versions of the IEC 61000-4 series: 1. CENELEC earns money from the sale of the ENs through the National Committee implementations; 2. It is POSSIBLE that the European National Committees might want Common Modifications to these IEC standards. Luckily, that hasn't happened yet, and there is almost no enthusiasm for the idea. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
