as a draft amendment and approved by CENELEC as a new edition on 2010-06-01.
This European Standard supersedes EN 50383:2002.
The main changes compared to EN 50383:2002 are as follows (minor changes are not listed):
− the frequency range has been extended to cover 300 MHz to 6 GHz now, was 300 MHz to 3 GHz
before
− the references to EN 50361 have been updated with referring to EN 62209-2:2010 now and
paragraphs have been removed, that are covered by EN 62210-2
− the former Annex A "Boundaries between field regions" has been replaced by an Annex
"Considerations for using far-field method"

patent rights. CEN and CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights.
The following dates were fixed:
− latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2011-06-01
