A similar thread is currently running on LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/groups/CISPR-22-24-compliance-update-2278131.S.269600494?view=&gid=2278131&type=member&item=269600494&trk=eml-anet_dig-b_nd-pst_ttle-cn Here is my comment on that thread, but I look forward to the experienced feedback from this EMC-PSTC group of experts: " This is a tough one. 1. The essential requirements of ANNEX I of 2004/108/EC are stated with a reference to state of the art: "Equipment shall be so designed and manufactured, having regard to the state of the art, as to ensure that:..." 2. Harmonized standards are regularly updated, presumably at least in part to reflect the state of the art. 3. If you are choosing to demonstrate conformance with the essential requirements by demonstrating conformance with the applicable harmonized standards, it seems to me that you have an obligation to periodically review whether changes to the harmonized standards constitute changes to the state of the art as applied to your products...

Dear Experts, A test lab is suggesting that because EN61000-6-4:2007 will be superseded in 2014, all conforming products must be retested to the new standard, even if no changes have occurred in the product. Is this a fair claim?
