Jim, In-situ testing is the norm for these kinds of machines in my experience. Depending on whether the machine is fully assembled at the manufacturer or not determines where the testing is done. If the machine can qualify as a “fixed installation” under the EMC Directive (Art. 13), testing may not be required. BE VERY CAREFUL with designating a machine or an assembly as part of a fixed installation, as the owner is required to understand EMC and maintain the compliance of the equipment over its lifetime. Many customers are not too happy about that idea.
