Hi I find this discussion very interesting.
The danish standardization body have the interpretation that if a standard refere to another standard by number and year (ex. EN 61000-x-y:1996) you will have to use this standard and not any new version, but they recommend that you don't use standards which have been outdated. They told me that there wasn't any official interpretation within EU, so before we gets too many questions like this I hope that we can get an official statement.
