CISPR 22 is not being amended to do away with the OATS.  And a FAR is
not contemplated.  Now, the early work on CISPR 32 is allowing the FAR
as an alternative.  CD should be out "soon".

I assume that OATS will still be the standard, right? If a product's
compliance
is in question, results from an OATS will take precedence over any other
test
site such as FARs, T-Cell, etc.. Right? OR, does the data from a FAR
correlate
so well with an OATS what they are considered equivalent?

Quite right, so I asked Martin and he replied:

I expect OATS will continue to be used alongside FARs for many years
decades) to come. What the UK lab may have been intimating was that in
certain localities (most of the developed world) OATS are subject to a
lot of ambient interference so customers may be attracted to labs that
have FARs.
