Just finished some testing at an accredited lab. For an accredited report, they run QPs on all measurements whose peak are w/in 6 dB of the limit. I don't know if that's their rule, or by the regulations.

It reads like there are two limits, peak and QP. Go over either one and by how many and by how much over, does not matter. it is a fail and fix it. Otherwise, the lab should be recording the 6 points of each P and QP for 12 points, well, let the slide if all points are below the QP limit and graph shows that. Now to get lab to show a continuous graph for radiated emissions might be a problem. Easier to get a new lab ! Some cheap labs will fake a continuous plot by connecting the highest dots. Run from them ! Long details on the experience that I got.

CISPR 16-2-3 clause 6.4.9 states: “Of those disturbances above (L-20dB), where L is the limit level in logarithmic units, the disturbance levels and the frequencies of at least the six highest disturbances shall be recorded.” We have always done QP measurements on all peak measurements above the limit, even if that is more than six points. I have a lab arguing that they only need to measure the top six, regardless of how many peak measurements are above the limit. Any thoughts are appreciated.
