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.

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! Richard Woods ---------- From: Ron Pickard [SMTP:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, May 15, 2001 3:58 PM To: [email protected] Subject: EMCD query 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.
