It has just been agreed between the EC Competent Bodies and the EU Commission and others (protesting) that the implementation date will be 1= Jan 2001. This hopefully will be formally ratified this time. Until the= n the Generic can be applied which shows limits for these frequencies to be= under consideration. A more detailed response will be available shortly from the Competent Bodies Association. The Harmonics standard is undergoing a re write in Cenelec WG 6 and modified test should be availab= le in draft form by the Feb/ March timeframe, I am confident that if accepte= d the new approach will be an acceptable compromise for Harmonics. My next big concern is Flicker, if you have not had your product tested t= o EN 61000.3.3 it might be wise to try it out as you might find that even i= f it passed the EN 60555-3 you may have problems with the new one due to th= e voltage variation during the Peak inrush. Let me know if you have a problem. Best regards Phil Carter acemark europe ltd The Bentley Centre Stratton Road Swindon United Kingdom SN1 2SH +44(0)1793 522213 +44(0)1793 522214 fax
