I see that BSI now state that EN 50581:2012 is marked as Status : Superseded, Withdrawn https://shop.bsigroup.com/ProductDetail?pid=000000000030261478 and states it is replaced by: BS EN IEC 63000:2018, Technical documentation for the assessment of electrical and electronic products with respect to the restriction of hazardous substances
The harmonised list on the EU website still states 'EN 50581:2012 Technical documentation for the assessment of electrical and electronic products with respect to the restriction of hazardous substances' https://ec.europa.eu/growth/single-market/european-standards/harmonised-standards/restriction-of-hazardous-substances_en What one should I put in a declaration of conformity to be issued this week? The product in question has been assessed for RoHS compliance using the principles and our copy of EN 50581:2012. It appears the two are probably identical according to the link below and we've just missed there's going to be a change (it's hard for SME like us to keep abreast of all the changes and that before any Brexit implications! Anyone any hints on that?) although the article talks about 60 month transition period but not actually what the actual timescale is! https://www.cencenelec.eu/news/brief_news/Pages/TN-2019-009.aspx Thanks for any pointers.
