Hi Charles:
Not what you asked for, but a set of principles for success with third-party testing, from a product safety point of view: 1. The design engineer and the product safety engineer should be able to predict the outcome of any test. 2. Testing simply confirms (or not) the prediction. 3. Failure of a test or other requirement at the third-party delays the third-party investigation which can imperil the product schedule. To maintain schedule, the product must comply with all tests before it is submitted to the third-party. 4. If the product that you successfully tested fails a third-party test, then your or the third-party test was in error. This can open a dialogue between you and the third-party as to test process. 5. Tests to standards requirements are either pass or fail; always record the measurement. If the test requires a stimulation, then adjust the stimulation to the point of failure and record the measurement. Both tell you the margin between pass and failure. 6. Provide your measurement data to the third-party when you submit the product. If the third-party measurement data differs from your data, some third-parties will do their own investigation as to why. In my opinion, EMC is not a black art and can follow these same principles.
