The amendment to 60825-1 that is currently in the voting process would remove LEDs from the standard. That document will likely be published in about 1-1/2 years It might be published early next year, but probably not.

The next version of the IEC 60825-1 standard is due out in late '06 or early '07 -- Doug Nix, A.Sc.T.
