I began this thread by asking if a rack passed emissions profiling with 1 unit, 
is it necessary to fully populate it with (say) 4 units to demonstrate 
emissions compliance. I've located the reference I remembered reading...CISPR 
11:1997+A1:1999 (of all things!) 

Under 6.4.1:
'A system which contains a number of identical equipments, but has been 
evaluated using only one of those equipments, does not require further 
evaluation if the initial evaluation was satisfactory' followed by a NOTE which 
says that emissions from identical modules are not additive.

Any comments?

In practice, I'm inclined to test to the full installation anyway, since I 
generally 'learn' so much about the integrated system during compliance 
testing...
