Some additional info on this topic: The referenced EN 55022:2006 has not the same role as it would have for IT equipment. The role is that of a basic standard, describing test methods , and exercise methods only. The limits are in the EN 301489 standard, used as harmonised standard for your product. So the fact that EN 55022:2006 is expired in the OJ is not relevant; it would have been a problem if the standard was withdrawn, and I have seen that too. The basic problem is that EN 55022 is a mixed standard, describing test methods and limits in the same text, where most immunity basic standards (such as the EN 61000-4-ys series) have been conceived for that role only and do not prescribe limits (suggest some only). A product should therefore never comply to a Basic standard (impossible); an error widely spread. Basic standards are never referenced in the OJ with the EN 55022 as exception.

You almost never *have* to re-test to a new standard only months later; there is a transition period which is normally 36 months. You can *choose* to apply a new edition of a standard as soon as it is notified in the Official Journal, but you don't have to. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only. With best wishes.
