I recently received notice that a new version of EN IEC 61000-4-5:2014 (based on IEC ed. 3) is released.
I see that this standard does not (directly) give presumption of conformance to the EMC directive (i.e., it is 'unlisted'), but a standard that *is* listed (61000-6-2) references it as an un-dated normative reference. Because it is an unlisted and undated normative reference, does this mean that the new version is *immediately* required to be used? The 2014 version has the following information, but I'm thinking it is irrelevant because the instructions in, e.g., EN 61000-6-2 are "the latest edition...applies". 61000-4-5:2014 has the following transition information The following dates are fixed: - latest date by which the document has to be implemented at national level by publication of an identical national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2015-03-19 - latest date by which the national standards conflicting with the document have to be withdrawn (dow) 2017-06-19 I've been able to find some guidance on dop and dow, but only regarding OJ listed standards.
