I read your questions carefully, and decided that it's impossible to
answer them unambiguously. Won't you never fail to confirm your denial
that you are not a barrister adept at totally confusing juries, by any
chance? (;-)
Instead of trying to answer in cursive text, I'm making three
statements:
1. The reference is 'completely wrong' in the sense that no standard
exists with that reference.
2. The draft was never *carried through to publication*. However, a
product committee that considered that the surge test should be applied
to the product in question had very little option but to make a
qualified reference ('To be published' or similar words) to what was
*expected* to be the relevant Basic standard. What SHOULD have happened
was that a Corrigendum should have been issued when IEC61000-4-5 was
published.
3. There are important differences between IEC61000-4-5 and the last
draft of IEC801-5.
I hope that is clear.
