Joe, Ref. ANSI C63.4: 1992, para. 5.2.2. The VGP is not required for a floor standing EUT. And on an open area test site, it's optional for a tabletop EUT (but preferred in case of dispute). Has this changed?
Sorry, this doesn't answer your question re CISPR 16 but I felt a clarification was appropriate regarding the ANSI requirement - if it hasn't been changed in the new edition.

I was unable to find such clarifications when reviewing CISPR 16. Do the CISPR standards require a vertical ground plane for conducted emissions? If so, where is this requirement specified? Your assistance is appreciated.
