Derek,

I agree with you. I also checked CISPR22, only the height is mentioned.

        Wendy,
        
        please see my earlier comment. The table dimensions are NOMINAL. This 
is NOT cast in stone.
        
        The deficiency is Bogus.
        
        Sincerely,

                When I look for an accredited ANSI C63.4 laboratory, I expect 
the laboratory has the facility as stated in the standard, including a standard 
size of the table as defined in the standard.  For this reason, unless the 
accreditation certificate bears a restriction note, I support the auditor's 
comment.  
                 
                From the other point of view, many manufacturers' laboratories 
are for internal use only, including my employer's.  For this reason, the 
auditor may be willing to accept the smaller size of the table.  The question 
is how to determine if the laboratory is for internal use only (for testing 
certain type of products).  An example is Alcatel-Lucent's EMC laboratory in 
New Jersey, USA.  It opens to the general public.
                 
                With regards,
                Grace

                        Dear Experts,
                        Recently my company went through the first ISO17025 
audit. We have a table smaller than the standard requirement of 1.5m x 1m since 
our products are small, typically 10cm x 10cm x 10cm. The height of our table 
was 0.8m. The auditor wanted us to change the table size to follow the standard.
                        What does it matter since we never use the extra space 
on the table? I do agree we must keep to the height requirement since the floor 
is a ground plane and thus it sets a fixed capacitance to the EUT and also 
controls the lengths of any attached cables.
                        
                        Can we reject or challenge the auditor's request? Has 
anyone experience the same situation?
