I received an offline reply (thanks) that pointed me to the Cenelec site and particularly expansion of the 'dop' acronym as "date of publication", and the concept of 'dav' (date of availability)....
So it looks like means that they are playing a little semantic game, in that even though the standard has physically been made available on or after the 'dav' date, it has not "officially" been published until the dop date. Regards, Lauren From: Crane, Lauren [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, September 08, 2014 12:33 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [PSES] Are unlisted EN standards that are undated references immediately effective? 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by endorsement (dop) 2015-03-19 - latest date by which the national standards conflicting with the document have to be withdrawn (dow) 2017-06-19 I've been able to find some guidance on dop and dow, but only regarding OJ listed standards.
