Thanks to Christie for the update. There is one little rumor about generic immunity that needs to be confirmed or denied. (It appeared on EMC-PSTC a couple months ago.) Supposedly, if the 1992 edition is used on a product after 1 March 1998, then the transition period for that product is accelerated by six months - to 1 January 2001, rather than the published DOW of 1 July 2001.
Is this really a published requirement - or some rogue internal policy?

More specifically: 1) Has EN50082-1:1998 been listed in the OJ? EN50082-1 is in the OJ 2) What is the transition period (if any)? The transition is from 3/1/1998 to 7/1/2001. Yes it is more stringent and there are more tests. i.e. EN 61000-4-2 , -3, -4, -5 , -6, -8 and -11 as well as ENV50204.
