Whilst neither of the amendments referred to below affect the sort of
equipment we produce or test it is "interesting" and not uncommon that there
is a delay between the publication of the IEC version and the BS EN version.
I have always applied the BS EN version. 
Am I correct in following this rationale? 
The latest BS EN version is equivalent to IEC61326: 1997 including
amendments 1 and 2.
