Hi Kim, I've just had a chat with a compliance test lab engineer on this very topic yesterday. He said their measurements have a 3 dB uncertainty between labs. So it world seem when everything is as accurate as possible, 3dB margin would ensure you will always pass, possibly without any margin. So the 6 dB rules would give you 3 dB margin.
That's my humanly guess. God had different rules that we can't Divine:) Best Regards, Alfred On September 1, 2017 6:01:20 AM PDT, Kim Boll Jensen <k...@bolls.dk> wrote: >Hi > > > >One of our customers want to know if there are some good practice for >emission compliance.
