Hi Charlie, Thank you for your reply along with those linked references. Those ETSI links provide projected target dates for approval and availability for the new/revised standards being drafted for the RED, which are generally targeted to be complete by the 13-Jun-2017 effectivity date for the RED. Kudos to ETSI for that work.

If so, please provide a link(s). - Will the EU pull a rabbit out of its hat at the last moment? Can anyone shed any light on this? I look forward to your reply.
