Hallo all,
I think the answer to this question is quite simple (see Art 3 EMCD)
Member States shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that
apparatus as referred to in Article 2 may be placed on the market
or taken into service only if it complies with the requirements laid
down by this Directive when it is properly installed and maintained
and when it is used for the purposes for which it is intended.
The key words are "placed on the market" or "taken into service".
I.E. the products have to compy with the valid requirements at the moment
of "placing on the market".
An equipment sold and delivered to a branch of the same company in the EU
is "placed on the market" anc can remain on the market for an indefinite
period of time.,
In your case, Ron, you would have to deliver the products to a company in
Europe. This company could ba a branch of Hypercom.
Best regards
George

If these products are in a European warehouse then they can be sold as they
are presently in the distribution system, but if the warehouse is outside
of
the EU then they must comply with the new requiremetns to be sold after
July
1, 2001.

Ron, my understanding is that if these products were placed in distribution
- e.g., not under your control - they can remain there for a virtually
unlimited time until sold as is. However, if the products are still in a
warehouse under your control, then you have two options:
1. Ensure that they are compliant with the norms that are in effect on
the date of sale, or
2. Obtain an opinion from a Competent Body that the as is product is
compliant with the essential requirements
Good luck!

Hello to all,
This is directed to all the EMC Directive experts on this list. I
need your help.
It has just come to my knowledge that a sizable quantity lot of
finshed ITE products have been built
and being stored in a warehouse. These products, facing
obsolesence,
are 100% compliant with the
current EMCD requirements (EN55022:1994 & EN50082-1:1992) and have
been in stock for about a year
now. These are new products, but were built about 1 year ago. I can
not find any reference to this
situation in either the EMCD itself or the latest guidelines.
My question is, do these products need to be brought into
compliance
with the new EMCD requirements
coming on 1-July, or can these products still be shipped after
1-July as is? Bringing these products
into compliance with the new requirements may be cost prohibitive.
As it would be much preferred to sell these products as opposed to
scrapping them, I am posting this
to see if there was something that I overlooked.
Comments? References?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Ron Pickard
