The import date is not the correct date to use. Every copy of a new product
that is placed on the market or placed in service after the effective date
must comply with the new requirements. Note that old products may remain in
distribution and sold after that date.

New standards do not apply to used or repaired equipment that remains within
the EU, but they do apply to used or repaired equipment imported into the EU
after the effective date. There are similar requirements for certain levels
of refurbished equipment. The Commission has given its official position of
when refurbished equipment becomes like new and needs to comply with the new
standards. Perhaps someone can point you to the web site for their official
comments.

        Subject:  EN 50082-1:1992 vs 1997

        I have a question regarding the applicability of EN 50082-1:1992 vs.
EN
        50082-1:1997.  It is my understanding that as of July 1, 2001, all
        products that are still being shipped into the EU must comply with
EN
        50082-1:1997.  What if the products originally met EN 50082-1:1992
and
        are no longer being shipped but are still being repaired or replaced
        after July 1, 2001.  Do these products have to meet EN 50082-1:1997
as
        well?

        Best Regards
