For EMC if the concern is emissions it would be easy to do some quick scans – 
10 minutes on a peak run for each model would give you data to compare against 
each other to see how much the emissions profile changes due to the 
modifications. Immunity would take longer but the manufacturer should be able 
to do an engineering analysis and see what might make sense/

For radios it is significantly different. Certification of a product for FCC 
only applies to the product in the report and identical models as defined in 
2.908. Any modifications require evaluation.

Thanks,

I agree: pre-scan is the way to go. Document all of the steps so that you can 
produce your reasons for your decision if challenged.

Tough one!  The problem lies in the determination of "worst case". While it 
would be easy to presume that having all of the hardware populated is worst 
case, it overlooks the effects of un-terminated stubs and other SI related 
issues.  In addition, with the world of firmware based PLL clocks and memory 
traffic, it is a tough thing to determine.  My opinion would be to preform the 
simplest pre-scan on each configuration and base the final, rigorous 
certification based on that knowledge.

Hi folks,

I would like to advise a client at where to draw the line on what needs 
testing. I would like to solicit opinions besides my own. Otherwise it’s the 
fox urging the chicken coop…

So a manufacturer that makes a product of which there will be several variants. 
All use the same board, but have different sections of circuits populated. This 
may require slightly different code to run on the same uP in each case.

So.. The burning question is can we perform and analysis that postulates a 
worse case hardware/software combination and test just one configuration? Or, 
do we have to do every combination?

Or, are there some guidelines about where we draw the line of what to test and 
what can be claimed as similarity?

Off list responses are welcome too.

Thanks,
