Charles,

As far as I am aware the FCC regs now use the CISPR22 conducted emissions
limits for the AC mains port and the radiated emissions measured at 3m for a
class B device.

CISPR22 radiated emissions are measured at 10m (for Class A and Class B) and
are not measured at 3m (as per the FCC set up for Class B devices).
So it may be possible (and valid) to have a FCC Class B report with RE at 3m
(using FCC RE set up) and CISPR22 AC mains port conducted emissions but not
valid to have a FCC Class (A or B) report with RE at 3m using CISPR22 RE
limits.

Subject: Q on FCC and CISPR data



All,

In order to harmonize fully with the ROW,
the FCC has amended Part15 to include the
CISPR conducted limits with a transition
period. Heres my question: Can one now
mix and match limits? For example, I reviewed
a Class B report only to discover that the
radiated emissions were done to FCC (@3M)
and the conducted to CISPRB. Is this OK
and by that I mean legal. I don't like it:-
I think one selects the desired limits 
FCC or CISPR and tests all FCC or all CISPR.

Comments as always welcome (especially from
test houses)
