In IEC60533 ("Electrical and electronic installation in ships - EMC") there is a requirement for conducted emission on Power lines and I/O signal /control lines.

In our case, potenial conducted noise on our signal lines have to pass through a number of PCBs, DC/DC convertes and AC/DC supply, before the noise will enter the ship AC network.
 

I have a problem to see why we should measure direct on the signal line, shouldn't we test on the AC instead?

You need to measure conducted emissions on the signal/control lines because they may be long enough to radiate (due to common-mode signals or noise) in the frequency range below 30 MHz, the normal lower limit for radiated emission tests.
