Where I have seen this practiced it was done so using a 5 meter distance in a listed SAC using the 10 meter CISPR 22 limit. The limit level was NOT increased on a linear interpolation, as there was no proof that the EUT's emissions exhibited a linear roll-off. All of this allowed the EUT to be tested in the same chamber with no movement or reassembly time incurred, and provide data which demonstrated good margin and provided a solid point from which to answer any questions that might be asked.

What does the future hold? (Please indicate degree of uncertainty when projecting future changes.) We are a global company and must meet all international requirements as well as Bellcore. The reason I ask this is that I keep hearing via third parties that some test lab or other is claiming that they do all certification testing in a 3m / 5m chamber.
