There were concessions in some countries in this sort of case for 12 month after the Directive came into force, but there are none now. Products that are already IN the distribution chain when a new standard or edition comes into effect are OK, but products that leave the manufacturer must be in conformity. Are you quite sure that: - there really are new requirements (as opposed to just a new edition of the standard) coming into effect on 1 July, **that affect your product**; - that the products don't already conform to any new requirements that are applicable? -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only.
