I read an article about EN61000-3-2 in p2 of http://www.techintl.com/pdfs/newsletters/sd_news2000.pdf titled "Deficiencies of EMC Harmonics Standards Are Addressed".
It reads: "Several national standards organizations have asked the EC and CENELEC for an extension to the date of withdrawal of conflicting standards (1 January 2001). For this reason, Working Group 1 of IEC SC 77A prepared an interim draft to address some of the standardÂ’s deficiencies. The draft modification proposes to withdraw the special wave-shape test for Class D yet still retains the Class D category and test limits. Equipment will be specified in the standard as being in the Class D category, and therefore have to be tested for compliance. PCs, PC monitors and television receivers with a power consumption of between 75 W and 600 W fall into this category. The vote closing date is 15 September 2000. If adopted, the Common Modification could be ratified before 1 January 2001. Manufacturers would have the option of using only the standard or using the standard with the Common Modification. There is no proposal to delay the date of withdrawal of EN 61000-3-2." Please help me clarify the followings: (1) What is the vote result of 9/15/00? Has the Common Modification been adopted? (2) If adopted, does it mean Class D only pertain to PC, PC monitors and TV? Does it mean there is no Class D category for other equipment? Thanks.
