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
