The GMA Consult Group kindly reminds about upcoming changes in Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Regulation with regard to harmonized standards that electrical equipment should follow to prove its conformity with the Directive 2014/30/EU (EMC). 

Thus, the following standards have been already implemented:

• EN IEC 55015:2019 - Limits and methods of measurement of radio disturbance characteristics of electrical lighting and similar equipment
• EN IEC 55014-1:2021 - Electromagnetic compatibility - Requirements for household appliances, electric tools and similar apparatus - Part 1: Emission

Moreover, probably CISPR 14-1:2020 and CISPR 14-2:2020 could be also replaced with the EN IEC 55014-2:2021 and EN IEC 55014-1:2021 after their stability date is accruer that is 2023 for CISPR 14-1:2020 and 2022 for CISPR 14-2:2020
