HI Wendy, I have a problem with deficiencies being cited for this requirement, especially against ANSI C63.4 where the requirement is "nominal size" Looking up the meaning of nominal will confirm you have lots of freedom.
For you to be cited as deficient, the requirement would have to have been worded something like the table top SHALL be 1m by 1.5m and you would have to have fallen OUTSIDE that size +/- dimensional tolerances. I have reported this inappropriate deficiency writing to the assessing body I work for requesting assessors either be asked to NOT cite this, OR to contact the standards writing body such that the dimensions are made definitive. I urge you to reject the deficiency. Sincerely, Derek Walton. On 10/10/2011 6:54 PM, WNya wrote: > Dear Experts, > Recently my company went through the first ISO17025 audit. We have a table smaller than the standard requirement of 1.5m x 1m since our products are small, typically 10cm x 10cm x 10cm. The height of our table was 0.8m. The auditor wanted us to change the table size to follow the standard. > What does it matter since we never use the extra space on the table? I do agree we must keep to the height requirement since the floor is a ground plane and thus it sets a fixed capacitance to the EUT and also controls the lengths of any attached cables. > > Can we reject or challenge the auditor's request?
