One of the reasons, many years ago, that a 'standard' setup was determined in both CISPR and ANSI standards was to relieve the never ending always present constant manipulation of cables and equipment. While the EUT is to be operating in a typical use scenario, the setup should be as depicted in the standard. This includes cables being bundled correctly, draped correctly and arranged on the test table correctly. Variation of this setup goes back to the 1980s when the constant equipment variations. Let's not go back there.

I think finding the real worst case emission for all frequencies with one and the same set-up is in practice not possible in practice. That same product is retested by a customer or in case of market surveillance campaigns, then it is most likely not tested with the same set-up and results may fail. Would this be an issue or is it acceptable that it is retested with the same set-up as the initial testing? I refer to CISPR22, clause 8.4 that states that the operational conditions of the EUT shall be determined acc. to typical use.....The operat mode and rationale shall be stated in the report. So to me it looks sufficient to test a typical set-up, do your best to not make it best case and describe everything in the report. Any other thoughts?
