Short answer is "no" Longer answer is "maybe" :) If you "assess" your product against (current) Harmonised Standards (HS), you get a presumption of conformity and this assessment may involve testing, but its not mandatory. You're not required to use HS for EMC directive bit doing so is likely to save questions from customers and/or enforcement authorities. regards Charlie ________________________________ From: Mcburney, Ian [[email protected]] Sent: 05 February 2013 09:50 To: [email protected] Subject: [PSES] Retesting to latest standards Dear Colleagues; I know this question has been ask before so please humour me. We have an old product that was tested to the 1996 version of EN 55103 parts 1 & 2. The latest versions are dated 2009 with some changes to testing. Am I required to retest the product to the new version even though there have been no changes to it since its original introduction.
