Not a legalese answer but a technical consideration. RE are measured only above 30 MHz due to measurement accuracy concerns at lower frequencies. The CE limit, in addition to preserving power quality in radio frequency bands, also limits RE from long power lines. So there is a good technical reason for imposing the same CE limits on your dc power distribution. If you wanted an algorithm, you could say that you should control CE for the purpose of controlling RE when the power line is a tenth wavelength or longer. This should effectively remove concern at switching frequencies. Also, assuming you are routing feeder and return together, you can limit the control to common mode emissions.
