<The 'state of the art' is quite likely to have moved on in less than 3

Indeed, there is an urgent need to speed up the process of standards
creation/modification, as both have happened, though it is more a
process of iteration to get to a final acceptable result.
That said, the consensus process in creating standards is difficult to
upgrade, seen how this is currently organized.
An quite ambitious effort of the Commission (
https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_22_661) to
limit the decision process for EU-standards to EU stakeholders (only)
may help.
(This has of course the added inconvenience of creating a potential
divergence between International and European versions of standards, I
personally believe however, that the majority of the world will follow
the EU-versions, simply because it is too expensive to create multiple
approved versions of equipment. )
but most "field" problems are not caused by state of the art problems,
but occur due to insufficient knowledge of technical committees on legal
concepts, by for example allowing 2 different but (thought) equivalent
tests for one requirement. The uncertainty caused by having the
manufacturer make an open choice between 2 test methods is legally not
acceptable. If test are different, than it means that there can be
different results under different test conditions. Otherwise a single
test would be sufficient as specification. Creating sufficient guiding
to support 2 tests can be quite challenging, if this needs to be precise
and exhaustive. Gert Gremmen
