>TABLE>

Note 1:

Generally the date of cessation of presumption of conformity will be the date of withdrawal (dow), set by the European standardisation organisation, but attention of users of these standards is drawn to the fact that in certain exceptional cases this can be otherwise.

Note 2.1:

The new (or amended) standard has the same scope as the superseded standard. On the date stated, the superseded standard ceases to give presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the Directive.

Note 2.2:

The new standard has a broader scope than the superseded standard. On the date stated the superseded standard ceases to give presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the Directive.

Note 2.3:

The new standard has a narrower scope than the superseded standard. On the date stated the (partially) superseded standard ceases to give presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the directive for those products that fall within the scope of the new standard. Presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the directive for products that still fall within the scope of the (partially) superseded standard, but that do not fall within the scope of the new standard, is unaffected.

Note 3:

In case of amendments, the referenced standard is EN CCCCC:YYYY, its previous amendments, if any, and the new, quoted amendment. The superseded standard (column 4) therefore consists of EN CCCCC:YYYY and its previous amendments, if any, but without the new quoted amendment. On the date stated, the superseded standard ceases to give presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the Directive.

Example: For EN 60215:1989, the following applies:

Note 4:

EN 301 489-1 contains the common EMC emission and immunity requirements for all radio equipment and must be used together with the appropriate radio part of this standard, to demonstrate presumption of conformity to Article 3(1)(b) of the Directive.

NOTE:

- In addition standards published under Directives 73/23/EC and 89/336/EEC may be used to demonstrate compliance with Articles 3(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 1999/5/EC.

- Products are presumed to comply with the Directive when they meet the requirements within the usage conditions for which they are intended.

- This list replaces all the previous lists published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
