As described in clause 4.1 of CENELEC Guide 13 dated 2016-10, https://ftp.cencenelec.eu/CENELEC/Guides/CLC/13_CENELECGuide13.pdf, "EN IEC" now means the EN standard is identical with the corresponding IEC standard. > As for the EU Declaration of Conformity, are we only to > state that a product meets, EN 62311:2008, when in fact, the product was > tested to the 2020 version, or the latest version, even though the latest > version is not in the European Journal? I believe manufactures can choose to apply harmonized standards or non-harmonized standards, although only the harmonized standards will give presumption of conformity. Although compliance with the newer non-harmonized standard necessary means compliance with the older harmonized standard, if you can demonstrate compliance with both editions of the standard, maybe you can references older edition, newer edition or both editions in your DoC.
