Ron,
Below is the latest update that I have been given by a friend who actually
sits in the IEC 950 technical committee. I hope this answers your questions.
I have just received this.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
IEC 60950 3rd Edition was published 1999-04. CENELEC Technical Board (BT) has
not yet ratified EN 60950 3rd Edition.
CENELEC TC 74 had a meeting 1 July, a proposed Common Modification (CM) to
6.1. 2.1 was voted down. The request (from Finland, Norway and Sweden) for a
Special National Condition, with the same wording as the proposed CM was left
to the CENELEC Technical Board (BT) to decide. The BT met on 6-8 July, but
the subject was postponed to their next meeting 28 September. Due to further
consideration the September meeting decided the subject to be postponed to
the next BT meeting (which will be held in December 1999).
When a new EN is introduced, normally the CENELEC members fully start
certifications to the new standard at it's "date of publication" (dop). When
a standard is ratified ("date of ratification" (dor)) by CENELEC, there will
normally be approximately one year time span to the "date of publication"
(dop). In case of EN 60950 3rd ed., if ratiifed at the CENELEC BT meeting in
December 1999, the "date of publication" (dop) will probably be the beginning
of year 2001. Earlier start of certifications would be possible.
