Section 6.5 Performance Criteria

You as the equipment manufacturer place in the product specification
what level the product meets under what test condition.

I have had cases where a Test House has instead the product meets the
Criteria in Table 2. But this is only an example set of test criteria,
not a requirement of the standard.

Provided your equipment remains safe and is not physically damaged by
the testing, you will meet the immunity requirements.

We do indeed use EN61326 for our equipment and I'm aware of some of the
differences between its requirements and those of generic standards.
However, I was not aware of the above relaxation. Does anyone know which
clause in the standard details this?
Thanks
