Ian, I believe that what you are asking is, "How long is a piece of string?" The problem is that there are many parts of EN61010-2-xxx, and until all of them have taken into account the requirements of the 2001 version of EN61010-1 it is simply not possible to state a single DOCOPOCOSS as it will vary from part to part. However, if your product does not have a specific section of part 2 then the DOCOPOCOSS was 1st January 2004. For other parts where there is a specific part 2, the DOCOPOCOSS is that of the part 2 standard. My understanding is that the 1993 version of Part 1 will disappear when the last part 2 is updated.

My understanding of the status of the application of the 2001 edition of EN61010-1 (including amendments) was that it was not yet mandatory and for "a period" both the 2001 edition and the 1993 edition (including amendments) could be applied. This is taken from the National Forward of BS EN61010-1. The "period" referred to seems to be dependant upon the updating of EN61010-2. Thus I think the crux of this issue is what is the date of cessation of presumption of conformity of the superseded standard i.e. EN 61010-2 (1995)? I believe this date is 1st of April 2004. I would rather use month names as confusion arises between date formats. Can anyone confirm this or offer any other information? I did have a link to a table showing the DOCOPOCOSS of standards, but have lost it - can anyone help with this also?
