Part 18 still uses MP-5 but it is not mandatory. In cases of dispute, MP-5
will be used by the FCC. You can't go wrong, however, using ANSI C63.4 as
the test set-up. Or you can use the CISPR limits as Gary described. I do
not know what C64.5 is.
You do not have to submit your test results through a TCB.

Please respond to Gary
McInturff
Bon Jour (That's about it for my French)
Pierre, MP-5 isn't relevant any more. I believe you want ANSI C64.5.
and I think you'll find mostly similarities. I can't think of any
dissimilarities of the top of my head, Even FCC part 15 allows use of the
CISPR limits for radiated and conducted emissions. The only caveat (ah,
more
French!) is that if you accept the radiated limits during test you also
have
to accept the conducted limits. Some folks trip up on that one. It means
that the conducted limits are really 150Khz even at US line voltage, not
the
normal FCC start of 450 Khz.

Subject: Cooking induction apparatus and FCC
Dear colleagues,
I need to know your opinion on the following :
I have to perform EMC testing on an induction cooking table and I would
like
to obtain the FCC certification.
In Europe, this kind of apparatus is subjected to the EN55011 (CISPR11) and
the test conditions are clearly stated, mainly for the EUT configuration.
I understand for the USA, the product has to be tested according to Part 18
requirements. This part explains that the technical requirements for the
measurement are described in the MP-5 document. As this one is a little bit
old (1986), do you believe I can use the CISPR11 to demonstrate compliance,
or should I use the MP5 ?
If I have to use the MP-5, do you know if somewhere the EUT configuration
is
described, or is the "worst case" at the manufacturer discretion ?
And, at last, do you know if I have to submit my test results and EUT
description to FCC directly (electronic submittal), or should I have to go
to a TCB ?
In advance, I thank you a lot for your answers,
Best regards from France
