ome of the standards in the EN54-series (fire alarm equipment / CPR -
Contruction Product Regulations) have reference to the EMC standard
EN50130-4. Not only the standard is cited, but also the version (EN
50130-4:1995+A1:1998). I've been told that Notified Bodies shall use
only the standards in the edition mentioned by date in hEN even if CEN
has withdrawn and superseded such standards.
That is correct, for dated references. Withdrawn standards are preserved
for that reason.
Therefore, what happens when EN50130-4:2011 comes into force in June
2014 and EN 50130-4:1995+A1:1998 are withdrawn? Should we follow the
Official Journal (OJ) or the Notified Bodies requirements?
What SHOULD happen is that the EN 54 Parts concerned should be (should
already have been!) reviewed to see if the reference can be updated or
not. It might not be possible - the referenced text might not exist in
the 2011 edition.
If the committee's officers haven't started the process, it's up to both
the CEN Central Secretariat and the users of the standard to flag up the
need.
