Note 1: Generally the date of cessation of presumption of conformity will be the date of withdrawal (‘dow’), set by the European
standards body, but attention of users of these standards is drawn to the fact that in certain exceptional cases this can be
otherwise.

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 The superseded standard (column 4) therefore consists of EN CCCCC:YYYY and its previous amendments, if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 On the date stated, the superseded standard ceases to give presumption of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 50014:1997, the following applies:

Cenelec

EN 50014:1997

Electrical apparatus for potentially explosive atmos-
pheres — General requirements
(The referenced standard is EN 50014:1997)

Amendment A2:1999 to EN 50014:1997
(The referenced standard is EN 50014:1997
