This is an elephant in the EMC room at present, and I think my UK 
colleagues and I are among the few that can see it yet. We had 
discussions in UK about it, and agreed (after MUCH discussion) that a 
definition of 'corresponding', or whichever word is used in a similar 
context, is required.

Some experts are interpreting it as a strict numerical 'n dB for n dB' 
equivalence, which is just not realistic, and not even compatible with 
physics. A UK committee agreed that what was realistic to require was a 
repeatable correlation, e.g. notionally in the form of a look-up table, 
and this was submitted to CENELEC and CISPR.
