Hi John,
EN55032:2012 is the latest word on the intent of the emissions
standards. The presumption of conformity is only maintained for after 5
March 2017 if they use EN55032:2012. Evidently, the debate and intent
of the standards bodies was to give freedom to the manufacturer but not
to other parties. Specifically, I note that the quoted statement in
EN55032:2012 section 10 gives freedom to the manufacturer to use another
test method or configuration, but all other parties (including EU member
state governments) would be bound to the "shall" statement to use the
"test method originally chosen ... unless it is agreed by the
manufacturer to do otherwise."
One never knows what a government official will do, and rarely is it
worth the expense for a corporation to appeal through the courts.
However, they should run their market surveillance tests according to
the standards.
Have fun!
Monrad

You wrote "such a provision cannot be included in a standard".
Actually, it is in the standard! In CISPR22:2008, section 9.5.1
(under 9.5 "EUT arrangement") says in the text.
"In case of dispute, tests shall be carried out as originally performed.
I know, but that was not legally acceptable in Europe, hence the 'work
around' that you have quoted in the 2010 edition. 'Should' means 'not
mandatory', so the surveillance authorities are not bound by it. And
even the 2010 edition wording is not without allegations of being
'regulatory'.
I am therefore very surprised that EN 55032 has the 'shall' word. I
quite agree that it is completely sensible, but that doesn't count for
much in certain circles.
