Ryan,
The answer to your question is simple enough. There is a list of harmonized standards listed under the EMC Directive. Assuming that you are referring to ITE, then the product family standards EN55022 (emissions) and EN55024 (immunity) would apply. EN55024 itself sets limits and provides references to the IEC61000-4-x (not EN61000-4-x) basic standards. The IEC/EN 61000-4-x standards provide guidance on how to perform the testing sets limits, but these limits are over-ridden by the limits of EN55024. And, if the intended environment of this product is industrial (heavy or otherwise), then EN61000-6-2 may likely be employed instead of EN55024. Also, EN61000-3-2 and EN61000-3-3 are also harmonized standards required under the EMC Directive. If the test labs that you've used cannot tell you this directive-to-standard relationship, then IMHO its time to look for other test lab(s).

Let's say I have an Information Technology Product (for example 230VAC 3A and say Unshielded Twisted Pair ports no telecom connection to outside lines), and I pick the EMC directive and the LVD for the product standards. How does one go from the EMC directive to the different 61000-4-x tests? I have not got a satisfactory answer from the test labs I have used.
