Re: [PSES] EN55022:2006 vs. EN55022:2010

Biggest change is probably the type of material for the table you use which needs to be proven not to affect the results. If you have wooden tables then you are going to have a large uncertainty value. There is a bit of work needed to prove your material choice has no effect and doesn't then ne

You have to be a bit careful comparing the requirements around old incandescent lamps to more modern equipment. The glass envelope filament lamp requirements have a lot of history attached. You couldn't, for example, pass an Edison or bayonet mains lampholder using typical modern requirements bec

Hi there, First, IMHO eval boards are typically end-use apparatus as they are not likely integrated into other equipment or even into enclosures. I wanted to chime in on this to mention that such an allowance may be found in Article 4.3 of the EMC Directive. Although eval boards are not specific
