The only problem I see with not calibrating the LISN is you wouldn't
know if / or when it goes bad until you cross check it with a calibrated
LISN. 

I would suggest you run your precompliance lab just like the real lab.
This way you'll get the same results as the accredited lab you test
with. No surprises this way.

I would say that if it came calibrated from the manufacturer and has not
suffered visible damage it should be okay.  It is easy to check a few
spot
frequencies or use a spectrum analyzer with tracking generator or
separate
sweeping sig gen to check performance.  Either way it is not a big deal.
