IEC -> EN -> BS / NL /BE / DK / NF / DIN / SE / EVS etc
Most relevant changes are in between IEC to EN, in the form of Common / National Modifications and the Annex to announce the ability to use in a respective directives. (CENELEC) Then comes the local money machine of the national standardization bodies to add a translated front page (and the new number) , and sometimes a local expert creates a fully translated version of the standard. Normally you need not use a localised version, as it adds nothing to the product. If you order a localised version often you get just the EN version (in one language only), a separate front page and an adjusted bill (and the clause that in case of dispute, the EN version prevails… oh you did not buy that one, what a pity). Other countries my vary in price substantially. I think the British are the most expensive (now with a free, less than 2-years expiration time). Not all national bodies operate that way. The Estonians deliver plain IEC/EN versions with a (for most of us ) cryptic Estonian frontpage at 25% of the UK price for example. If you consider buying a product, buy the 2-user network version for a plain PDF version. Single user versions are a PITA for licensing rules and protection software.

Some probably do not apply to your product, but it only needs one to apply to give you trouble. That is apart from larger differences, as explained below. But there are no all-embracing ‘general rules’ to predict what differences there are between the IEC and European versions of a standard In Europe, CENELEC (for most electrical standards) takes the IEC standard and makes ‘Common Modifications’ and adds ‘Special National Differences’. It also ‘translates’ the Normative and Informative References into references to European standards (where they exist). Then it adds Annexes about conformity with the Essential Requirements of European Directives and Regulations. When approved as a European Standard (EN), all CENELEC countries are compelled to adopt it and publish as, for example BS EN 62368-1 and DIN EN 62368-1. With best wishes DESIGN IT IN!

I was told that usually it is after IEC has published a standard, then other organisations like BSI or DIN will adapt the IEC standard as their national standards, e.g. BS and DIN, it is true? What are some the major considerations when organisations like BSI and DIN have in mind when adapt the IEC standards? Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you.
