Kaan, I developed and proposed flow chart - Decision tree for peak detector measurements, at least six years ago at U.S. National Committee for IEC TAG for CISPR SC G. I presented the same document later that year in Berlin to CISPR SC A and SC G on behalf of U.S. National Committees. Proposal has been approved with minor modifications suggested by Israel and Japan National Committees. It is published as CISPR Publication 22:1997 Annex B (normative), page 85 and will be propagated as applicable throughout other CISPR publications.
Intention of that document was to formalize rather common practice to use peak instead of quasi peak or average detector for conducted disturbance measurements at 150 kHz to 30 MHz. Use of peak detector speed up the measurement process. If product fail the test by using peak detector, there would be still a chance to pass the test by using prescribed QP or AVG detectors. Document allows use of peak detector instead of QP and AVG and QP instead of AVG. It does not mandate it. In a case of dispute, precedence results are with prescribed QP and AVG detectors. Document did not affect limits. Mirko Matejic The Foxboro Company
