I don't know that C63.4 actually requires that. In CISR16, it's only 
filters built in to the LISN that are included in the calibration. You 
can run a Z/F curve with the mains port open-circuit and then another 
with it short-circuit. If both are within tolerance, the filter is OK. 
But you DO have to check, because one or more of the filter capacitors 
might have failed.
