Your comment below is absolutely true. Manufacturers spend far too much time and money obtaining certifications for so many countries that have just minor differences in their standards. One standard for EMC/product safety is too simple I guess.

Consequently, you have to test both ways (120 V 60Hz or 230V 50Hz) to determine which way you should have tested. So, where are the time/money savings? As a personal note, it seems to me that there will always be slight differences whether it be, test sites, cables, input power, placement, whatever. The objective should be to reduce levels to reasonable, repeatable limits. Defining an acceptable standard or test procedure should be adequate. We should not have to incur unnecessary testing just to address a few dB one way or the other. Rick
