You have to look to the standards for the answer. Since the Australian standards follow CISPR, the standards require that you test at the nominal voltage and frequency of the country. Australia's power system is 240V 50 Hz (some areas in the outback can reach as high as 250V nominal). A retest of

2 dB was the required margin for initial acceptance to the VDE standard for ITE. Of course, the VDE standards are no longer mandatory since the EMC Directive came into effect. The new thinking today is to take measurement uncertainty into consideration when determining a pass/fail criteria. For

TVs and radios have a specified signal rejection. That is, they must continue to operate with a specified minimum signal to noise ratio and a specified minimum signal. That noise signal may be a spurious emission from another product. That derived noise signal is projected to a certain protection

Insulation for hazarous voltage circuits
