Richard Interesting & informative - thanks.
I think it would actually be difficult for anyone to argue that, in the absence of anything else, an LVD/RTTED harmonised standard was not appropriate unless they formally brought the risk assessment issues into play and argued that the standard(s) in question did not actually go far enough,or in the right direction(s) - and it has to be said that many existing LVD-harmonised standards are notably lacking in that area when compared with equivalent Machinery Directive standards. However, I just took a look at the Register of Council Documents and could'nt find a indication of any published list of GPSD harmonised standards - the latest document I could find was the directive itself in 2001. Hopefully things will clarify over the next few weeks.

From memory, we were old that there would not be an automatic acceptance of standards published in connection with the LVD/R&TTED because they had some consultant (or was it a committee?) for vetting candidate standards prior to acceping them. I also seem to recall that EN 60950-1, EN 60065 & EN 60825-1 were submitted to the Commission - which certainly doesn't mean that others were not notified; it's just that I am more familiar with these standards. Like you, I have not seen any publication in the OJEC of any electrotechnical standards in relation to the GPSD, tough reference to some CEN standards was published late last month. Unfortunately, I have no insight as to when such a OJEC listing could be expected.
