Everyone Just a reminder that the new EMC Directive comes into force today.
All new declarations of conformity must now be to 2004/108/EC, and issued under 2004/108/EC procedures (extra documentation, information requirements, etc.). 89/336/EEC is repealed. No new/amended declarations under 89/336/EEC may be issued. There is a two-year transition period for existing declarations under 89/336/EEC. See the latest version of the EC Guide Annex 4 http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/electr_equipment/emc/guides/emcguide_may2007. pdf A list of harmonised standards under 2004/108/EC was published today. http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/site/en/oj/2007/c_167/c_16720070720en000 10016.pdf If you are based in the EEA and change your fixed installations (offices, factories, etc.) from today in a way that may affect the electromagnetic compatibility, you must appoint a responsible person and document the good engineering practices involved in the change (not the whole installation). New fixed installations put into service from today must have good engineering practices documentation for the whole fixed installation, held by the responsible person.
