Hello Don, As I understand it, once a standard has been replaced (reached it's DOW), product bearing the CE marking and intended for shipment to the EU must meet the requirements of the new standard. This almost always involves some degree of product redesign. I've found that this is also a good time to include product improvements / upgrades that may be in the works. As far as ammunition goes, if you list or certify your product with an agency (UL, TUV, etc) you should receive notification calling for a product re-evaluation.

I would appreciate some feedback on the following: Let's say I have several existing designs which meet the requirements for CE Marking today (EMC & Safety). What is the requirement for these existing designs when a new standard comes out, let's say six months from now? I think the older designs must be re-designed to meet the new requirements or not be sold into the EU. Is this true? What ammunition is out there for me to prove this fact to the higher-ups?
