However, it is likely to eventually become a problem for compliance in Europe and South America, where the regulatory requirements typically refer to K.20. I think there may be a transition period, because many of the applicable regulations refer specifically to earlier editions of K.20. However, whenever a regulation that references K.20 is updated, it typically calls out the latest edition.
