James, What is the product that you are interested in? There are quite a few standards that deal with product noise measurements, not all use the same measurement distance. Many use sound power, which is independent of distance. Lyle Luttrell Regulatory /Reliability Engineer Breece Hill

I don't think that you can easily convert IP to NEMA codes. However, there is a nice little chart which converts NEMA to IP. You can locate it at http://www.ul.com/hazloc/ref/conversion.htm The standard which defines the NEMA codes is NEMA-250,1997. Mark Werlwas Product Safety Engineer

I would like to add an item to this. If the US test house that you used for CE EMC testing is accredited by the ACA (as the test house I use is), they can also issue an 'Australian Test House' Certificate based on the EN55022 testing, attesting to the fact that the product also meets AS/NZS 3548.
