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superseded in 2014, all conforming products must be retested to the new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?
No; there is no obligation to re-test if you can write an honest EMC
assessment (maybe after pre-compliance testing) that the product
conforms to the new edition, maybe because, for example, the changes do
not affect your product in any way. For example, a new edition of a
standard might change requirements for immunity of data ports. If your
product doesn't have data ports, it's not affected by the change.
The EMC Directive doesn't demand ANY testing.
