John,
We have IEC 61326:2002. My concern is that the C77 (March 31, 2005) and
C246 (October 5, 2005) Official Journal of the European Union (OJ)
published new Harmonized Standards for the EMC Directive 89/336/EEC,
showing as the last item for EN 61326:1997:
"Amendment A3:2003 to EN 61326:1997 Note 3 1.10.2006"
No reference standard for Amendment 3 is listed, and I've checked all of
my sources for electronics standards in
http://www.dbicorporation.com/sources.htm
without finding anyone so far who says they can supply this amendment OR
a consolidated standard.
On April 22, 2004 I asked this forum how IEC 61326:2002 differs from IEC
61326:1997 +A1:1998 +A2:2000. On April 23, 2004, Helge Knudsen answered
that IEC 61326:2002 added Annex E and Annex F. So I *suspect* that
Amendment A3:2003 to EN 61326:1997 also adds Annex E and F-- making EN
61326:1997 +A1:1998 +A2:2001 +A3:2003 identical to IEC 61326:2002.
But maybe it doesn't... which is what worries me. I've been working
heavily with European EMC/EMI/ESD standards for the last four years, and
whenever I see "(Modified)" in a reference listing, I get nervous. I've
seen EN standards that differed from the reference CISPR or IEC
standard only in the date of withdrawal of the superceded standard.
Usually the EN standard adds an Annex ZA (normative) that lists the EN
standards to be used in place of the IEC/CISPR standards listed in the
reference standard. I've seen one EN amendment, English pages only,
that was almost double the size of the reference standard. But this is
the first time that I recall seeing an EN standard/amendment without a
reference standard/amendment.
Thanks!
