John,
The dates that I give in the introduction to each web page are for the
family of standards as a whole. So
"EN 61000-3-2 (16 SEP 1995 to ???) Europe"
is my shorthand for:
* EN 61000-3-2:2000 +Amendment A1:2001, not published in the Official
Journal of the European Community (OJ) yet;
* EN 61000-3-2:2000, published in the 9 MAR 2002 OJ with no replacement
named yet (hence the "to ???");
* EN 61000-3-2:1995 +Amendment A1:1998 +Amendment A2:1998 +Amendment
A14:2000, published in the 14 DEC 2000 OJ, and good through 1 JAN
2004;
* EN 61000-3-2:1995 +Amendment A1:1998 +Amendment A2:1998, published
in the 27 FEB 1999 OJ and also good through 1 JAN 2004.
* EN 61000-3-2:1995 +Amendment A1:1998, published in the 27 FEB 1999
OJ and withdrawn 1 JAN 2001.
* EN 61000-3-2:1995 +Amendment A13:1997, published in the 3 APR 1999
OJ and withdrawn 1 JAN 2001.
* EN 61000-3-2:1995, published in the 16 SEP 1995 OJ and withdrawn
1 JAN 2001 (hence the "16 SEP 1995 to").
So the little blurb "(16 SEP 1995 to ???) tells us that since 16 SEP
1995, and for the foreseeable future, we need to satisfy some version of
the EN 61000-3-2 harmonics standard to sell most electronic equipment
into Europe.
Whereas an entry like "EN 50082-2 (16 SEP 1995 to 1 APR 2002) Europe"
tells us that if:
1. We have a product that was verified/certified to EN 50082-2:1995,
AND
2. Its Declaration of Conformity has not been updated since then,
THAT
we may be in trouble with European Customs if we try shipping any more
units into Europe without taking some kind of action...
Thank you for your comments!
