I'm not sure if the question is technical or spec-ese.  I don't know the 
spec-ese answer, but technically the answer is straight-forward.  If the
anticipated loads are not antenna-connected receivers, then the only CE
concern is that the output wires not radiate sufficiently to cause rfi.  You
can look at present FCC/CISPR limits for that, with one important caveat.
You need only apply such limits to common mode emissions.  Differential mode
emissions won't radiate significantly as long as feeder and return are in
close proximity.  DM limits could be 20 - 30 dB relaxed or more, depending
on the proximity of feeder and return.  For instance the kind of "brick"
power supply that has a coaxial power output would not, in my opinion,
require any frequency domain dm CE control.
