For EMC, if you have demonstrated compliance with the EMC Directive via the
technical construction file route, you probably don't need to be concerned with
new standards. You should check with the competent body that assessed the file.
However, if you have demonstrated compliance with the EMC Directive by testing
to the harmonized standards that apply to your product, then you do have to
comply with any new standards if your product falls under their scope. This
also applies to revisions of existing standards. There is a transition period
for each new or revised standard that can be found in the front of the standard.
The date of withdrawal (DOW) of conflicting standards is the date by which your
product must comply with the new or revised standards.

Subject: Philosophy for old designs with new requirements.
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?
Thank you,
Don
