Some weeks ago I went to a test lab as an observer on a CE marking project (IT 
product). 

I participated on the radiated emission testing and some frequencies were above 
the limit line during the scan (peak measurement). Later on, the Quasi-Peak 
measurement lowered the values significant and therefore with the result Passed.

Later on, I was told that they continued the testing by 10-15 minutes and was 
logging the maximum Quasi Peak value (repetitive QP meas) on spike with the 
highest value. During these 15 minutes, one or two QP measurement was above the 
limit and the result was changed from Passed to Failed.

I have not seen this test procedure before. I’m familiar with just one QP 
measurement on each frequency and not Max Hold QP on each for 10-15 minutes. 

Anyone who have experienced the same? Is it a CISPR procedure or just some 
overzealous lab engineers?

 

Best regards
