How the conducted disturbance at mains terminals of 12V DC powered device should be measured: 1. At its 12V DC input ? 2. At mains input of "standard" 12V (buffered) supply (the same problem as with "standard" PC) ? 3. Not measured at all as device has not mains terminals ?
The same question regarding immunity: At DC input or at AC input of "standard" 12V buffered supply. The same "standard" supply used several times can fail Surge sometimes - what then. Should I use each time new "standard" supply and then WEEE it as used equipment ? When I was speaking (my first attempt to EMC) with one accredited lab (in 2002) they said I have to come with "standard" supply because they have no supply to destroy it for my measurements. When in 2004/2005 I've done some measurements (one firm's lab) they just measured at DC input (they also produce a lot of 12V powered devices and measure them that way).
