New products that do NOT fall into the 60555-2/3 the generics (50081/50082) give presumption of compliance, but only for the time being, as your design need to comply after 1-1-2001, which is very fast to come.
BTW a minor AND major redesign of EN 61000-3-2 is on it's way, the latter not to be effective for several years. Professional Equipment above 1000 W The EN 61003-2 speaks about "limits under consideration" for these equipment. It is my understanding that this paragraph will be left out (so limits apply) of be replaced in the nearest (cosmetic) upgrade of this standard.

It is also my understanding that the 4 year period for the EN version does not start until 1 Jan. 2001.

Heller/US-Corporate/3M/US) Subject: RE: Limits for Class D equipment in EN61000-3-2 Nadeau: The delay period is complete and the standard applies to products 50 Watts and above. However the actual application of the standard is up to the each country and how it is adopted. For example, in Europe the standard applies to only some products until 1 January 2001. On this date it will apply to all products covered by the standard. Dave George -----Original Message----- From: Benoit Nadeau [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, September 07, 1999 10:31 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Limits for Class D equipment in EN61000-3-2 Bonjour de Montreal, Section 7.4 of the EN61000-3-2 Standards specifies that : The limits given in table 3 are valid for all applications having an active input power > 75 W. No limit apply for equipment with an active input power up to and including 75 W. This lower limit of 75 W will be reduced to 50 W four year after the implementation date of this standard. Is this 4 year delay passed since the latest date by which the EN has to be implemented at national level (dop) was 1995-07-01 ?
