I appreciate the comments that I have received, but no one is answering my
question, which is, can tall (> 0.5 m) equipment be tested using a single
horizontal 1 m loop that is moved along the height of the equipment?
Obviously, a larger loop is required for the vertical testing.

We will have to apply the magnetic field immunity test to some of our
Generic and ITE products in order to comply with the new revisions of the
standards. One of the tests is not clear to us. Consider a product whose
width and depth are such that it fits correctly inside the standard 1 m
loop, but also assume that the equipment height exceeds 0.5 m. On one hand,
the standard tends to indicate that a two or more loops are required to
ensure that the entire height of the equipment is immersed during a single
test. But on the other hand, there is mention of moving a single loop over
the height of the equipment.
Do I understand correctly, that tall (> 0.5 m) equipment may be tested using
a single 1 m loop that is moved along the height of the equipment?
