Larry, Is this in reference to the Annex N stuff for the clause 6 tests ?
What did you do that required $100k USD ? Can I be your heir ? I am now required to do this test behind the building - the engineering staff is still complaining about the tests I did several months past...

I was just on a rant. Anyway, yes I can give you some recommendations, it looks like you are already off to a great start. Are you testing on an OATS at the moment? At 10 meters for countries like Taiwan & Korea. If so, then you are pretty much committed to a 10 Meter chamber. If you weren't testing for those economies then you can get away with 3 or 5 meter chamber for emissions measurements and save yourself around a million. 10 Meter Chamber & Equipment without facility to house it, is around $2 million 3 Meter Chamber and all immunity equipment new is around $500k maybe up to $750k depending on how high of levels you want to go to. Safety is cheap, more about experience and know how, then equipment, except for the EN 60950 Clause 6 generator for telecom ports, then you can get into some money like $100k SAR is expensive (robot, fluids, software) (~$200k), and then you need to think about liability issues. The insurance policy alone is probably quite expensive. So have I blown your budget, or is it still realistic? Some people may correct me on pricing, this is off the top of my head, but I bet I am pretty close. Larry - This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
