CISPR SC I have a few irons in the fire. CISPR 32 is being developed in WG2. This is a new (from scratch) emissions standard for multimedia equipment. CISPR 35 is being developed in WG4. This is the immunity counterpart to CISPR 32. Of course, WG1 is still maintaining CISPR 13 and CISPR 20 and WG3 is working on CISPR 22 (with no work going on to change CISPR 24 for the time being). Yes, indeed, SC I is busy!

Yes indeed; this was one of the sets of interests I was meaning, but not by any means the only one. It's also one that is being (has been?) addressed in CISPR/A, through a document defining how to calibrate the CMAD. Undoubtedly it was a rather hastily-thought out amendment, but I don't see that it deserved all the opprobrium that it got, and it was at least trying to address the problem. The problem hasn't gone away, but the solution is hiding in the corner. > I suspect this subject will arise again in CISPR SC I in the future I hope so, but it seems as though CIS/I has its hands full at present.
