For Harmonized standards in the EU, you can get a list of the standards,
their various versions, and which expires when.
For UL or CSA standards, how does one tell or determine when a
particular version of a standard is no longer usable to show compliance?
Example - I have legacy product approved to UL 60065, 7th Edition but
the approval was in 2004 or 2005. Then I have new products approved in
2012. I have seen various ways of listing the standard in different reports.
Typical is this: UL 60065:2003 R04.04 or UL 60065:2003 R11.06
I have tried to get a straight answer from UL but so far not much help.
Can anyone explain, does UL have expiration dates on standards or a
point where they are n o longer usable? I know they send out letters
about changes and updates and such, but those never seem to help much
and often come at the cost of a file review.
Likewise for CSA. Take CAN/CSA-C22.2 NO. 60065-03 (R2012). Just on their
web site and see they show it as: CAN/CSA-C22.2 NO. 60065A-03 (R2012) -
Amendment 1:2006 to CAN/CSA-C22.2 NO. 60065-03.
But I don't find anyway to know when my legacy products to older
versions of the standards need to be submitted for update.
Kevlar on - I suppose you will tell me I need to review each change and
determine it's impact on my product to see if it needs submitted to the
agency again. I try to do that, but when you inherit dozens and dozens
of legacy products all at once, it can be daunting at the least.
I'm just hoping someone can put a simple explanation to this or that
there is an easier way.
All input appreciated and thank you.
