I used to deal with this type of testing/approvals for previous companies/employers and some would use the 'rating' label and not do the test based on the 'rating' label. Other companies would assess the power level from actual measurements and test or not test accordingly. In my opinion the measured power of the actual product is the most appropriate method of determining if the test is needed. Solely basing the test on what the product rating label states may not be true for the actual product.

What is meant by "rated" power? Is this the power level that is actually measured during the test or the rating as shown on the product's data plate? Jim Hulbert Pitney Bowes
