Jim, Rick & others, I had a look at the information, published in the EC Official Journal on 27th February 1999, where EN55024 was made "official". In the section enabling EN55024, under the heading "Reference of the superseded standard" it states "Relevant generic standard(s) Note 2.3". Note 2.3 states "The new standard has a narrower scope than the superseded standard. On the date stated the (partially) superseded standard ceases to give presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the Directive for those products which fall within the scope of the new standard. Presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the Directive for products that still fall within the scope of the (partially) superseded standard, but that do not fall within the scope of the new standard, is unaffected."
My interpretation of the above, and it is only my opinion - please feel free to differ, is that for ITE with its related sub-categories, EN55024 supersedes both EN50082-1 and -2. This would indeed imply a relaxation on applied limits for these classes of equipment used in heavy industrial environments. Is this what the experts at CENELEC wanted?
