Randy,
One category you will probably use to evaluate test labs is 'test
report quality'. If a report lacks the kind of detail and clarity
that would allow you to perform an EMC scan 6-12 months later (i.e.,
auditing the continuing compliance of your current production) with
the confidence that your EUT configuration, cabling, etc., is
identical, then you will not know if any variances in EMC results are
due to the:
- product's design tolerances,
- sourcing of components,
- manufacturing practices, or simply
- EUT configuration, cable routing, etc..
ANSI C63.4 section 10 is 'Test Report Content' and would be a starting
point for development of your own checklist of requirements.

Hello group.
I am facing the task of writing a corporate procedure for qualifying EMC
Test
Labs as vendors. The procedure will approve each vendor on a test by test
basis, and a spec by spec basis. (For example - one lab may be approved for
radiated emissions, but not for EFT testing, while another lab may be
approved
for testing to FCC Part 15, but not to AS/NZS 3548.)
Could anyone suggest any documents which I can use I the preparation of this
procedure? If anyone has faced this task in the past, pointers would be
appreciated as well. So far, the only document I have found to use as a
guide
is ISO Guide 25-B. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
