The FCC will accept testing using ANSI C63.4:2009 also. See FCC DA-09-2478.

However; looking into the test standards for each country I am getting perplexed. It appears that for 47 CFR part 15 sub part B, the test standard for compliance is ANSI UL C63.4 2003 whereas for Canada it is the latest edition that is acceptable which I believe is the ANSI UL C63.4 2009. Similarly; if I was to apply the CISPR 22 method then CFR47 part 15 recognises the third edition of CISPR 22 and Canada applies the 6 edition 2008. Is there a common set of standards that can be applied for radiated & conducted rf emission measurements that is acceptable in both the USA & Canada? I am carrying out measurements from 30MHz to 2GHz to class B limits. Many thanks in advance. Ian McBurney Design & Compliance Engineer. Allen & Heath Ltd. Kernick Industrial Estate, Penryn, Cornwall.
