Well by lack of real gold, any of us prefer gold-plating isn't it ? I do not oblige my customers this test for compliance, but most understand the relevance, and prefer a technical better product above the slight increase of compliance costs. Hey what the heck, there is more in EMC testing then just following standards and legal requirements !!

Formally, you are 'gold-plating' the standard - extending beyond its internationally-agreed requirements. You should make a proposal to amend the standard in accordance with your view, so that it can be tested in the proper forum. Gold plating per se is not acceptable, and it must not be allowed to grow unchecked. It results in differences in acceptability between different regulatory authorities and, above all, it gives a license to test houses to steeply increase test fees. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
