Theoretically................ Already we have EN's that are NOT identical with the IEC standards........ What's the odds of the EU (CENELEC) coordinating closely with IEC on these issues?? I'd say close to zero -- as convenor of IEC SC77B WG11 responsible for such things as Surge and EFT immunity standards, and as a member of WG9 responsible for ESD immunity standards, I can tell you these documents are all in the process of revision and I know of no mechanism in place to insure the equivalent EN's are revised at the same time. Anyone out there have better information?
I'd like to think there is a way of coordinating these things, but..............

I am under the impression that the EN standards are derived from thier IEC equivalent. Also for compliance with the EMC directive we test to the applicable EN standard. When the IEC version(s) are amended is it safe to assume that the equivalent EN will be amended? Alternatively is it possible the EN already includes the IEC amendments? Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
