Kristiaan, The test procedures of ANSI C63.4-2000 must be used, even when testing to the limits in CISPR 22. The 10 meter test distance is fine, but to the extent that the test methods differ, ANSI C63.4 must be followed. Don't forget that if the product has a clock higher than 108 MHz, testing

You are quite right; masking under a screw can create a serious aesthetic problem. It's as mechanical designer, it's something that I whined and complained about often in the past. The best we could do was to minimize its necessity by making metal to metal contact BETWEEN the metal parts being con

Very good question. In my experience, the corrosion issue with regard to masked off areas has never been a factor. Yes, it will corrode, but the teeth will cut through that. The masking off of areas has also been internal to the product. Yes, I've also used the star washers on painted a

We use screws which have combined hex/posidriv heads with serrations under the head, which eliminates the need for star washers. We find these work very well for zinc plated parts. On epoxy painted parts, they also seem to cut thru the paint and give a satisfactory result - you might feel "happi
