In IEC1000-3-2, paragraph 7.4, it says "This lower limit of 75W will be reduced to 50W, four years after implementation date of this standard." Is the implementation date: Four years after the date on the cover (1995), or Four years after the DOW of the standard (now Jan 1 2001)? If the former is true, does this mean the standard would come into effect on the DOW with a 50W lower limit? -- Patrick Lawler [email protected]
