AFAIK, the position is far from clear. The ENVs have been described as 'superseded' by ENs in the 61000-4 series, but do not seem to have been 'withdrawn'. Nevertheless, much of their content is now seriously out- of-date. It can just as well be argued that you must use the EN instead, because it is a 'better' standard, i.e. more certainly ensures that the 'essential requirements' are met. >Case in point, EN 50130-4 Product Family Standard for Alarm Systems calls >out specifically ENV 50141 not EN 61000-4-6. I know: see my other post saying that I am taking this up through BSI to get a general clarification from CENELEC. At least one standard calls up IEC801-5, which simply does not exist. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk After swimming across the Hellespont, I felt like a Hero. ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
