Dear Experts, We have recently been informed by a Y-capacitor supplier that a new version of IEC/EN60384-14 has been adopted, apparently about 2 years before expected, forcing their Y3 product to become unapproved, with no clear substitute. We are told that the 2005 version of the standard was to be withdrawn in April 2018, but has now been withdrawn early in July 2016. I see no mention of either version of the standard in the Official Journal, and little notice on the "Google-web", so I must be looking in the wrong places. Can anybody in the group help to explain:
Who makes these decisions? Where are technical decisions like this announced, and by which body? Why would an accepted type of safety capacitor have been removed from an international standard? Thanks in advance for your help, Best Regards, Brian C. III (The Third Brian) ________________________________ Brian Ceresney Regulatory Lead Delta-Q Technologies Corp.
