The Automotive EMC Directive, 2004/104/EC, includes dated references to standards e.g. in Annex VII it lists CISPR 25 Second Ed 2002 as the test method for radiated broadband electromagnetic emissions from electronic subassemblies. 2004/104/EC also includes the following provision in its ‘Whereas’ preamble: “The EMC requirements and test provisions for electrical and electronic equipment have constantly been updated through the standardisation work of the International Special Committee on Radio Interference (CISPR) and the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO). It is therefore appropriate to refer in this Directive to the test procedures outlined in the recent editions of the relevant standards.” CISPR 25 Third Ed was published in 2008. Does the statement in yellow mean that the 3rd edition MUST be used once published ? It is not as clear as the usual verbiage in standards ‘for dated references the most recent applies’ Brian McAuliffe Global Regulations & Standards, Dell Inc direct: 353-61-465096 internal: 381-5096 mobile: 353-86-8105244 e: brian_mcauli...@dell.com - This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
