There is good work going on in SC77B on these standards. However, unless and until CISPR 24 is amended to adopt them, nothing will change in the ITE world. It (CISPR 24) specifically calls out the 1995 versions of these standards. As a 3 year maintenance cycle was imposed on CISPR 24 in September, there won't be any changes for the ITE world until 2006 or so.

Readers may want to reconsider capital equipment purchases of related test equipment, and certainly the impact on manufacturers of sustained product lines (typically industrial) over the next three or four years.

The new test will be quite different than the existing one with the main benefit being more repeatable results. >> Comment - I applaud efforts to improve a test, however the broad impact of these standards may not help the EMC community gain favor with corporate management.
