I really hope not. See my story 'How to lose half a million dollars':

Not good news. Model for testing (MFT) failed several EMC tests, and
there are safety issues as well. Details in a following message. Can we
discuss?

cc: Manager, R&D
I regret the delay in our discussion due to our incompatible schedules.
Your proposals for MJ54 are simply unacceptable; a $5 on-cost and a
redesign of the PC board and enclosure to accommodate the larger EMI
filter compromise both the costing and the time-scale already submitted
to Marketing and approved. In addition, the bandwidth reserve of stage 1
has been reduced to such an extent that conformity with specification
cannot be assured in production.

Subject: MJ54
After investigation, I confirm that the measures requested by JH are
fully justified and essential. I also consider it most regrettable that
both JH and BB are under suspension as a result of an altercation
admittedly instigated by BB.

The increased cost and revised time-scale that you have submitted make
the product unviable. In addition, our original request to include BGQQ
compatibility if possible, which you declined to fulfil, is no longer an
option. Acme and two other competitors now have products with full BGQQ
compatibility at prices 10% lower than your original costing indicated.

I wonder why industry is spending so much on EMC compliance. Is it
because the development teams are leaving this work to the final phase
of the design, where changes are expensive and schedules slip ?
