There are four scenarios for equipment within scope of R&TTE and/or RED, and the various transition periods have been clarified by the European Commission: 1. PRODUCTS WITHIN OLD LVD/EMCD AND CONTINUE TO BE WITHIN NEW LVD/EMCD (EVEN AFTER APPLICABILITY OF RED) -Products placed on market before 20 April 2016: old LVD/EMCD -Products placed on market on or after 20 April 2016: new LVD/EMCD 2. PRODUCTS WITHIN R&TTED AND REMAIN WITHIN THE SCOPE OF RED -Products placed on market before 13 June 2016: R&TTED -Products placed on market between 13 June 2016 and 12 June 2017: R&TTED or RED -Products placed on market after 12 June 2017: RED 3. PRODUCTS WITHIN OLD/NEW LVD/EMCD BUT THEN FALL WITHIN RED (AFTER APPLICABILITY OF RED)-FOR EXAMPLE TELEVISION AND SOUND BROADCASTING RECEIVERS -Products placed on market before 20 April 2016: old LVD/EMCD -Products placed on market between 20 April 2016 and 12 June 2016 : new LVD/EMCD -Products placed on market between 13 June 2016 and 12 June 2017: RED or new LVD/EMCD -Products placed on market after 12 June 2017: RED 4. PRODUCTS WITHIN R&TTED AND THEN OUTSIDE RED-FOR EXAMPLE TERMINAL EQUIPMENT -Products placed on market before 13 June 2016: R&TTED -Products placed on market after 12 June 2016: RED is not applicable; new LVD/EMCD, if applicable to the product in question The last scenario is the "nasty" one - there is a transition period written into RED, but not into EMC or LVD, so equipment that is currently R&TTE, but not RED has to, in theory, comply with EMC/LVD "overnight" Regards Charlie -----Original Message----- From: Scott Xe [mailto:scott...@gmail.com] Sent: 22 August 2015 00:41 To: Charlie Blackham Cc: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: Re: [PSES] New EMC Directive 2014/30/EU & LV Directive 2014/35/EU Hi Charlie, Thanks for sharing the temporary solution. For the products that compliant with current directives, are they just updated the DoC to comply with the new ones? What about the RED replacing R&TTE? This one cannot be simply updated the DoC since all the receivers will fall into RED but not current R&TTE. The receivers have to be re-tested to the new directive. The new directive does not publish the homogenised standards yet for the 3rd party laboratories to follow. Thus they cannot test to the new directive as of today.
