The 2005 and 2008 dates are the dates beyond which the Generic standards are not to be used. They are examples of the famous docopocoss – the date of cessation of presumption of compliance of the superseded standard. So you must use EN 50370-1 and -2.

It mentioned that the date of cessation was 2008 & 2005 respectively. For the On-site testing ( Manufacturer's Premises), I believe this standard can still be usable for the fact that; we are using EN 50370 as reference, but we are not actually showing full compliance to EN50370. We are showing that, by referencing an EMC standard typical for the type of equipment (and EMC environment), that the argument of compliance with the Directive Essential Requirements is good. In an EMC Technical File, we are arguing compliance with the Directive, not particular Standards. This means that, in actual fact, it doesn't really matter which product/generic standard is referenced when testing in situ, but logic says (due to the definitions) that EN50370 is more appropriate than EN61000-6-x. Any insights are welcome. Many thanks in advance,
