Re: EN 60204-1: 1997 vs. 1998 vs. 2006
Interestingly, I have in the last hour had a marketing e-mail from BSI which is trying to sell me a copy of EN 60204-1:2006. I've spoken to them and they tell me that it is due for publication on 22 September 2006. There's some information on the BSI web site about the new standard at: www.bsi-global.com/BSEN60204 regards Nick. - This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.Website: http://www.ieee-pses.org/ To post a message to the list, send your e-mail to emc-p...@ieee.org Instructions: http://listserv.ieee.org/request/user-guide.html List rules: http://www.ieee-pses.org/listrules.html For help, send mail to the list administrators: Scott Douglas emcp...@ptcnh.net Mike Cantwell mcantw...@ieee.org For policy questions, send mail to: Jim Bacher: j.bac...@ieee.org David Heald:emc-p...@daveheald.com All emc-pstc postings are archived and searchable on the web at: http://www.ieeecommunities.org/emc-pstc

People are complaining about this, because the standards process is continuous, and an 11 month delay in updating the OJ is causing problems, especially when a standard is amended to correct errors.

Re: EN 60204-1: 1997 vs. 1998 vs. 2006
Unless the information on the CENELEC web site is out of date, there isn't an EN 60204-1:2006 yet. There _is_ an IEC 60204-1:2005 but the CENELEC site indicates that there will be modifications (differences) between the IEC and EN versions. The 1997/1998 confusion probably arises because the original CENELEC version of the EN was dated 1997 but BSI did not get round to publishing it until 1998, so BS EN 60204-1:1998 is the same as EN 60204-1:1997. The last list of machinery standards to be published in the OJ was dated 31 December 2005 and I wouldn't be surprised if there was a 12 month gap before the next one. Likewise, the last LVD list was 16 Novermber 2005 and I'd expect a 12 month gap for the next. If the new version of EN 60204-1 is imminent then it will be published before this and will presumably appear in the next OJ list, but if you have a product which needs evaluation right now, I would not hesitate to use the 1997 version.
