Derived from a mixture of experience, experiments and theoretical 
studies. I meant what I said about setting the limits so as to reduce 
interference complaints to an acceptable minimum. If the number of 
complaints starts to increase, steps are taken to tighten the limits.

There is less motivation to relax limits if complaints fall to very low 
levels, as may happen in Europe now that immunity is controlled.

You may find this helpful:

immunity measuring apparatus and methods - Part 4-4: Uncertainties, 
statistics and limit modelling - Statistics of complaints and a model 
for the calculation of limits.

Note 'a model for the calculation of limits'.
