I want to use a later version of an ETSI Standard than the version of the Harmonized Standard listed in the OJ. What must I do to show compliance?

If you are using other than a listed Harmonized Standard then it would be normal to include a justification in the scope of the test report(s) so that the test house has a clear view of what is expected of them and what tests are to be omitted or changed. This may also have an effect on the scope of their accreditation and the way in which they produce reports. (They will be accredited to a particular version of a standard but if you wish them to use a different version of the standard it may be outside their current accreditation). They need to be consulted first and they might wish to refer the matter to their Accreditation Body for a view. Finally you should produce a justification for using another standard and include this in your technical file. The Notified Body you use will include this in their assessment and Opinion.

Do you have a question ask it here?
