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?
You are not missing anything. The reason you haven't seen anything yet
is complicated and largely irrelevant. The lists will not change
significantly due to the changes of Directive alone.
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.
You almost never *have* to re-test to a new standard only months later;
there is a transition period which is normally 36 months. You can
*choose* to apply a new edition of a standard as soon as it is notified
in the Official Journal, but you don't have to.
