Annex 4: Until now, manufacturers were required to submit test reports from an accredited laboratory with their application for approval. As it has proved difficult for manufacturers to find a suitable accredited laboratory, it will now be possible for the manufacturer, who has the necessary knowledge and equipment, to carry out the tests and draw up the reports himself.

Annex 5: The technical and administrative requirements for special electronics (PTA 5.2 / PTS 5.3 / PTA 5.4) must be completed to take account of the possibility given to the manufacturer to draw up test reports himself. In addition, certain adaptations have been made necessary by the arrival of programmable broadband disturbances based on software-defined radios.

Annex 7: The version of the standard for the USB-C connector has been updates to its newest version (EN IEC 62680-1-2: 2022 and EN IEC 62680-1-3: 2021)
