John Standards are private products, and there should not be a "legally" reference in your reply. Standards are binding agreements between civil parties only, and private parties may agree to use old standards. If CENELEC states that a standard has been withdrawn, so what ? If the older standard is useful as an agreement between parties, that's ok.
If the European Committee agrees with that is another story; the EC might conclude that the docopocossed standard gives no presumption of conformity anymore, and that opinion is reflected legally in the OJ only, regardless dow, dopocoposs or other dates. In the case of EN 61326, being harmonized at date of application, referring to EN 61000-3-2:2000, gives presumption of compliance. At the same time EN 61000-3-2:2006 (if harmonized at the same date) gives presumption of compliance too. The fault is in EN 61326-1:2006 standard, but such Faults are not uncommon. Again, IEC nor CENELEC create legally binding documents (unless agreed upon by contract between parties).

No; the new version supersedes the old at the docopocoss, and legally the old EN (but not the old IEC version) ceases to exist. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
