Sorry Charles, Existing products need to comply also, as long as they are being sold. The period in which EN 55024 becomes mandatory was 2 years, and you still have 16 months to re-design them. But what the heck, any product in ITE being sold today MUST be obsolete before 1-7-2001 !!! ;<))))
Test data that is one year old, is not obsolete (but the product must be ;<) !!!), as long as you can prove that the test data goes with the exact product you sell today. Any revisions since must be documented and evaluated for their EMC impact, and that might possibly require new testing. Even unsold product in stock, that has not yet entered the customer supply chain, must be modified. Here you might do something with your rep !!
