I'm curious about the 6 dB margin. Is that in the Korean version of the standard? Usually standards have limits but not margin. In fact if it were a required to have this margin, wouldn't the limit simple be the international limit minus 6 dB. Typically test houses don't get to invent or enforce margins to the limit.

Initially it was not going to be sold with an FCC/IC/CE Bluetooth certified module. So when sales decided they had to have this feature we then needed to meet EN301489-1 and in Annex C.3.1 it indicates that "The limits and tests used to demonstrate compliance of the combined equipment shall be taken from the harmonized EMC standard relevant to the primary function (declared by the manufacturer)". So my interpretation of this is that a Class A unintentional radiator can utilize a BT compliant module and still meet the requirements of the R&TTE Directive. Great right? Then Sales decided that they have this huge potential for sales in the Korean market. Apparently when the Koreans adopted EN301489-1 the KN version of this standard omitted the clause in Annex C.3.1. So we had the device tested in-country and they indicated that the unintentional radiator had to meet Class B EN55022/CISPR 22 for ITE with 6 db margin. Naturally we failed. This is not an ITE product and was not designed to meet Class B any comments are appreciated. Has anyone else experienced this?
