Hi George, I don't think the margin makes any difference in applying the 80/80 rule. If you have a series produced product you must apply the 80/80 rule using a sample size of not less than 5 and not more than 12 pieces. See Clause 11, Assessment of conformity of equipment, of CISPR 11: 1999.
Happy New Year to all!

I have found a description of the statistics in CISPR 22 :1997 Section 7.1 and 7.2. Its been my understanding that for testing at OATS, if the product has 2dB or less margin, then these statistical methods are required. Is that correct? And, where does the reference to '2dB margin' come from?
