All, I don't think questioning an assessor is a bad thing. Many of us in the EMC field have as much or more experience than the assessors who visit our labs. Often what it comes down to is the letter of the law...we all live and die by the word "shall" in test standards (as was pointed out earlier). It's healthy for the acceditation bodies to handle rebutals as long as they're not without merit. But don't get me started on calibration, verification, and quality checks! Because I've been told that a LISN verification falls within MU while NSA does not. In writing from an acceditation body. oh was that a tangent? Ash. - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
