It shall contain, as a minimum, the elements given in 5.2 to 5.5. It may be determined from consideration of the electrical characteristics and usage of a particular item of equipment that some tests are inappropriate and therefore unnecessary. In such cases, the decision not to test shall be recorded in the EMC test plan. 5.2 Configuration of EUT during testing . 5.2.1 General . 5.2.2 Composition of EUT 5.2.3 Assembly of EUT . 5.2.4 I/O ports . 5.2.5 Auxiliary equipment 5.2.6 Cabling and earthing (grounding) . 5.3 Operation conditions of EUT during testing 5.3.1 Operation modes . 5.3.2 Environmental conditions 5.3.3 EUT software during test 5.4 Specification of functional performance . 5.5 Test description . ................................................................................................................ And for the Test Report: 8 Test results and test report The test results shall be documented in a comprehensive test report with sufficient detail to provide for test repeatability. The test report shall contain the following minimum information: – EUT description; – EMC test plan; – test requirements, i.e. which type of electromagnetic environment is considered; – performance criteria; – test data and results; – if applicable, characteristics of equipment operation deviation from functional performance; – test equipment and test set-up.
