Jim,
Here are the answers to your questions and concerns, respectively.

According to clause 7.1 of ICES-003 Issue 3, CISPR 22 is accepted as an
alternate standard in the form of CAN/CSA-CISPR 22-96 to C.108.8-M1983
and FCC Part 15. 150kHz is the lower CE limit for CISPR 22 if you are
or will be applying CISPR 22 to your product.
>What about a phase-in period?
From memory, this was discussed in this forum a couple of years ago.
However, according to Q8 of EMCAB-3 Issue 2, for new equipment that
have been compliance tested after April 1, 1995, the product must be
labeled to indicate compliance. After April 1, 1996, all such equipment
must be tested amd marked. An example of this marking is given in Q10
of EMCAB-3 and in the Annex of ICES-003.

EMCAB complements ICES-003 and both are in Adobe Acrobat format.
I hope this helps.
