Hi Camille, IPC LF Listservers, Well I went looking again to see about the status of this standard. And here is a little blurb from CENELEC. The meeting date in December per their status screen and I am guessing from the coding "Dop" the drop dead date for publication is 2005 08-01 i.e. just before it is needed. http://www.cenelec.org/Cenelec/Code/Frameset.aspx <============ The blurb ==========> What standard will govern the new WEEE labels? Question: What standard will govern the new WEEE labels? when will is it planned for release? Answer: We wish to inform you that for the time being we just have a draft standard that is at the beginning of the procedure. It is still at the evaluation of concrete proposal phase. The draft has been circulated for comments and the target date for vote is 2004-11-26. The reference of the draft is prEN 50419 and its title is as follows: "Marking of electrical and electronic equipment in accordance with article 11(2) Directive 2002/96/EC (WEEE)". To know the evolution of this draft, we would suggest you to visit our web site under section "Search" and click on "Published/in progress" where you can make a search using keywords or the reference of the standard (just type "50419" in front of "Standard reference" and click on "Run report) and then obtain a list of all the related European standards. Proceeding this way you will see the evolution of the stage codes. We wish to draw your attention to the fact that CENELEC does not sell standards.
