Bingo. Safety and EMC standards have 'built-in' margins per committee members that cared to converse with this plebian.
A supplier's margin is in internal policy, or is per your customer's spec, or is per empirical numbers from the end-use installation. Measurement Uncertainty is not necessarily a 'margin', but does have statistical relevance. Control of manufacturing process and product construction cannot be reasonably specified in EMC standards, unless you want to write EMC standards to the content and format of safety standards. Have fun with that. Indeed, per Mr. Crane, why assume anything?

All the issues being raised regarding possible variability must be known to the members of various standards committees. Does anyone know that the issues are *not* taken into account when the committees set test levels? If standards are followed, including any instructions regarding EUT sampling and measurement uncertainty, why assume additional margins must be applied?
