It is always a good idea to have a copy of the standard.
If it is DC/DC converter, you might find some of the footnotes in the generic immunity standards such as EN 61000-6-2 useful. Example [paraphrased]: Apparatus with a d.c. power input port intended for use with an ac-dc power adaptor shall be tested on the ac power input of the power adaptor specified by the manufacturer, or where none is so specified, using a typical ac-dc power adaptor. The surge test is not applicable to dc power input ports intended to be permanently connected to cables less than 10m There are other notes addressing testing of signal lines.

Thanks to everyone for the numbers. To clarify, the device is a DC/DC converter. We will be applying the surge to the DC input and to the DC output. I have ordered EN 61000-4-5 to get the details.

Dave, Section 6.1 of EN 61000-4-5:1995 says "the generator has an effective output impedance of 2 ohms".
