Thank you, Richard; an illuminating script. Thank you, also, to all those that have replied to me, on and off the list.
The crux of my present situation is this: we have a customer that is claiming "relief" from having to comply with the next edition of the standard and is citing an excerpt from the list of harmonized standards as the basis of this conclusion. My research and query efforts are intended to make certain this customer is kept "clean" and that they are not making a poorly informed business decision. If I am to make the case that they *must* comply with the later edition of a standard, I need something beyond opinion and speculation. This customer has been stung in the past by (others) not using the latest standard edition for their product certifications and are particularly sensitive to the cost of certifications. Hence, my doggedness in insisting upon official documentation in support of any interpretation with respect to intent of the changes in the Forwards of harmonized standards and meaning of text in the list of harmonized standards.
