Our interpretation of "series produced equipment" is that of bulk manufactured units where the CISPR 80-80 rule applies. It could generally be Group 1/2 Class A/B bulk produced lab meters, household/light commercial medical diagnostic gear etc.
Equipment not produced in series could imply (say Group 2 Class A) heavy industry items such as massive industrial induction/microwave ovens, billet heaters etc which are unique contract jobs, which will probably never be tested on a "test site", but because of the complexities of the installation will be tested in situ. These are the types of jobs where one forgets about the use of LISNs and shudders at the thought of using a HV probe. Cost of such stringent EMC testing will almost inevitably be built into the contract.

Has anyone seen a definition of what "equipment produced in series" actually means? Is there a time period involved? Does it have to be produced daily, weekly, or monthly? Is a batch of 10 pieces of equipment produced once a year "produced in series"? Does it have to be made on an assembly line? The reason I ask is that CISPR 11 goes on to say "All equipment not produced in series shall be tested on an individual basis". If it is not produced in series then every one made must be tested. What is equipment NOT produced in series"? --------- This message is coming from the emc-pstc discussion list.
