Lisa,
The 10 ohms per square seems high to be critically connected with EMC
directly..(maybe ESD ONLY???). I would have to say that the move to 20 ohms
won't have much of an effect....
Now, the retest debate is interesting... If you have a TCF, I would
recommend submitting your changes to the outfit holding your TCF, and letting
them determine the extent of testing.... If not, (not knowing much about your
product), I would have to say you would have to seriously consider retesting a
whole spectrum of tests. Furthermore, if you only tested to old versions of
standards, other tests may have to be done anyways....
Hope this helps,
Regards,
