Each unit placed on the market must comply with the then current standards. A unit is placed on the market when the item leaves the manufacturing stage. You have the following options:
1) create a Tecnical Construction File of the current design and obtain an opinion from a Competent Body that the product is in compliance with the essential requirements of the EMC directive, or 2) build units and place them in distribution where they can remain for an indefinite time. Your company can own and operate a distribution center if necessary. Richard Woods Sensormatic Electronics Tyco International -----Original Message----- From: Brewster, Alan [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, March 22, 2002 10:52 AM To: emc-pstc Subject: Work in progress vs Date of Withdrawal Greetings All, If a vendor is in the process of building equipment and has started the manufacturing phase before the date on which a standard is superceded, can the goods still be supplied against the old standard? In particular, the introduction of EN 61000-6-2 on April 1st will leave some equipment suppliers with long lead time parts in a quandary over how to declare, especially if they might not meet the surge and dip requirements. Is there a published guidance on the treatment of material that is Work in Progress?
