Hello EMCers, I would like to ask. Is there anyone out there that tests to stricter limits than the legal (CISPR, IEC, etc.) limits? If so, what was the rationale behind selecting the stricter limits? Our engineering teams are curious as to where the stricter recommended limits come from, such as the 6dB margin for emissions testing.
