David,
The best one that is generally available to the public is still
MIL-STD-285.
It is available from the us govt's DODSSP: dept of defense single
source point, in philadelphia.
http://www.dodssp.daps.mil/
.
The IEEE has a standard 299, but in my humble opinion it was written
by a bunch of smart, well-meaning folks who never did many ( or ANY) real
shielding effectivess testing. It is somewhat impractical and I would not
recommend it, but it is good to have in case someone tries to force you to
use it. Someone said that the DoD had adopted it years ago, but we do a lot
of shielding effectiveness tests for them and I have NEVER seen IEEE 299
called out.
The IEEE publishes an excellent book by Leland Hemming:
"Architectural Electromagnetic Shielding Handbook" but this has to do more
with the design of shielding systems. Still, he has some sample contracts in
the back. It is worth looking at.
The best book of all, in my opinion, is:
"THE SHIELDED ENCLOSURE HANDBOOK" see:
http://www.tempest-inc.com/pubs2.htm
This is the definitive guide for the buyer, builder, tester and user
of electromagneticlally shielded rooms. It contains copies of MIL-STD-285
(and MIL-STD-220, which you will also need.) It contains information that is
available nowhere else: honest, practical advice that will save you time,
money and a lot of grief.
The author has good credentials a lot of experience testing,
buying, using and supplying shielded rooms.
He is also a genius, and an all-around good guy. (i wrote it.);)

Lou
