At the risk of going off topic, I don't see anything identified at http://eur-lex.europa.eu/homepage.html for harmonized standards for the new 2014/30/EU EMC and 2014/35/EU LVD directives that go into force April 2016. Time to start getting prepared. Am I missing something or is it just too soon for them to be published?
The same line of thinking could apply as to whether or not to start using newer standards sooner than later. A benefit would be not having to go through the cost of additional testing to a newer standard only months later. -Dave -----Original Message----- From: John Woodgate [mailto:j...@jmwa.demon.co.uk] Sent: Monday, July 20, 2015 5:15 PM To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: Re: [PSES] R&TTE OJ listing vs conflicting Reference Standards in EN 301 489-1 v1.9.2 In message <85d45e15f71741059f90847883213...@thhste15d1be4.hs20.net>, dated Mon, 20 Jul 2015, Charlie Blackham <char...@sulisconsultants.com> writes: >The discussion concluded that whilst final responsibility would always >rest with the manufacturer (and Notified Body if used), that using the >latest state of the art standard would be perfectly acceptable or >perhaps even the better decision. > > The committee that wrote the referencing standard decided to use dated references, and that was voted on and accepted. So how can it be a 'better decision' to ignore that? While the advantages of dated and undated references are pretty evenly balanced, the main point in favour of dating is that the user ***is in no doubt which edition of the reference standard to apply***. Teaching people to disregard that seems extremely perverse. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only. With best wishes.
