Chris EU Directives don’t require assessing (to new standards) to “remain compliant” - they require re-assessing to maintain a “Presumption of Conformity”. There is no grandfathering under CE marking as standards are only every optional (though that’s a narrow technicality to sit on for some directives)
Market enforcement and customers expect Harmonised Standards to be applied, and that’s the recommended approach. Depending on the product, and how it was configured and monitored when tested against EN 55024, you may find that only partial re-testing is required. This is much more straightforward for the transition from 55024 to 55035 than for 60950-1 to 62368-1 Best regards Charlie Charlie Blackham Sulis Consultants Ltd Tel: +44 (0)7946 624317 Web: https://sulisconsultants.com/ Registered in England and Wales, number 05466247 From: Chris Brown <chris.br...@startech.com> Sent: 25 March 2021 19:20 To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: [PSES] Withdrawal of EN 55024:2010 FORWARD: In an Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/455 issued in mid-March, the Commission moved to replace the 2010 edition of EN 55024, Electromagnetic compatibility – Product family standard for audio, video, audio-visual and entertainment lighting control apparatus for professional use – Part 2: Immunity, with EN 55035: 2017, Electromagnetic compatibility of multimedia equipment – Immunity requirements. The date of withdrawal for EN 55024:2010 is mid-September 2022. QUESTION: Will this withdrawal be similar to the withdrawal of EN 60950-1, where models compliant with EN 60950-1 had to be assessed to EN 62368-1 in-order-to remain compliant? Or, will the change to EN 55035:2017 allow existing models to be “grandfathered” (i.e., models assessed to EN 55024:2010 not required to be assessed to the new harmonized standard EN 55035:2017)?
