Just out of curiosity, recognizing this isn¹t going to help, but since it has no mains connection and is powered by vehicle dc primary power, why isn¹t DEF STAN 59-411 the sole EMI standard involved?

It is a dc powered standalone Military System with no external Signal Port Input or Output connections. It does have one external DC Input Port whose sole purpose is for charging the system batteries when the system is not in service. The length of the system battery charging cable is < 3m. In normal operation this external DC Input Port is not used. The Vehicle Mounted Military System consists of a number of sub-systems connected via fully screened interconnection cabling some of which are longer than 3 metres but all are much less than 30 metres long. The interconnection cabling is in some cases a combination of both signal and dc power connections but there are also some solely signal cables and dc power cables as well. My question relates to whether the EN 61000-6-2 Signal and DC Power Ports Radio-Frequency Common Mode test requirements are applicable to the sub-system interconnection cabling whose length is greater than 3m or not? Noting as previously stated the system has no external cable connections in normal operation. I am aware that DC Power connections do not have any cable length exemptions but in a standalone system this would not be considered to be a ³DC Distribution Network². Your advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
