Brian, IEC61326 (or EN61326, which you need for EMC Directive compliance) 'calls out' the various test standards, e.g. CISPR 11, IEC 61000-4-X, IEC 61000-3-X, and supplies the actual levels at which these standards are to be used.
To my mind, if your product falls within the scope of this standard, and you are going to use it to claim compliance to the EMC Directive, then you must have it. In fact, if your company is ISO 9000 approved, then your auditor should not only check that you hold all standards relevant to your product, but also that you have a mechanism in place to ensure that you are using the most updated version.
