Richard, We have gone as high as 20kV. This was done on the control panel with buttons similar to that of your common vcr remote. It was done as a customer requirement. We used the same pass/fail criteria as if it were at 8kV.
We use a Schaffner NSG431.

I have the following questions. o What types of products o What type of user environment o What is the rational for testing above 15 kV o What test equipment is used above 15 kV o What test procedure is used above 15kV o What is the pass/fail criteria above 15 kV Thanks, Richard Woods ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
