Hi Kris,
As long as the configuration that the customer / market surveillance authority has used is valid and representative of use and tested according to the standard I don't think you will have a leg to stand on. Have a look at Whereas: (17) in the EMC Directive 2004/108/EC. It states the following: ".... the electromagnetic compatibility assessment should confirm whether the apparatus meets the protection requirements in the configurations foreseeable by the manufacturer as representative of normal use in the intended applications; in such cases it should be sufficient to perform an assessment on the basis of the configuration most likely to cause maximum disturbance and the configuration most susceptible to disturbance". It is the manufacturer's job to determine what the worst case representative configuration is. Thanks, Chris. -----Original Message----- From: Carpentier Kristiaan [mailto:kristiaan.carpent...@technicolor.com] Sent: 05 September 2014 15:36 To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: [PSES] Failure of Radiated emission Hi group, A ITE product is tested to EN55022 Radiated emission with a well defined setup (cables, traffic, etc...) trying to find the worst case emissions and it passes. I think finding the real worst case emission for all frequencies with one and the same set-up is in practice not possible in practice. That same product is retested by a customer or in case of market surveillance campaigns, then it is most likely not tested with the same set-up and results may fail. Would this be an issue or is it acceptable that it is retested with the same set-up as the initial testing? I refer to CISPR22, clause 8.4 that states that the operational conditions of the EUT shall be determined acc. to typical use.....The operat mode and rationale shall be stated in the report. So to me it looks sufficient to test a typical set-up, do your best to not make it best case and describe everything in the report. Any other thoughts?
