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.

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. on 11/28/01 4:15 PM, marti...@appliedbiosystems.com at marti...@appliedbiosystems.com wrote: > > We are in the process of setting up a pre-compliance EMC lab.
