My previous question came from the following: I understand the article 10.2 of EMC directive as follows: If you apply the standard in part you must have the report obtained from a competent body.
Standards tells: use the following measurement procedure and the levels are.... I didn't sow in any standard: the levels are and if you really need to check it use the following measurement procedure. So I understand that skipping any measurement (even if you obviously meet the levels) is applying standard only in part. Even, for me it sounds logically that in some situations I can skip some measurements I ask where it comes from ? I'd like to know such things to be prepared for discussions with any inspectors.
