If it is the manufacturer's, the product has not already been 'placed on the market', so it must conform to the new standard when it is shipped. If the product has been shipped to a distributor's warehouse, then it HAS been placed on the market and can be sold on without conforming to the current standard. This is to some extent a 'concession' and might be withdrawn in a case of a known safety issue not addressed properly by the superseded standard. It might also be withdrawn if the product has been in the distributor's warehouse for several years. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
