Let's take an example - a motor operated business machine that contains digital logic. In my opinion, it must be judged under the generic emissions standard because it produces both continuous and discontinuous interference. The applicable sections of EN55022 and EN55014 must be met. The same would apply if you had a motor operated ISM device except that EN55011 and EN55014 would apply.
