Equipment units tested
The test report shall list all equipment tested, including product type and marketing designations where
applicable. Serial numbers and any other distinguishing identification features shall also be included in the
test report. Identification or detailed description shall also be made of interconnecting cables. The rationale
for selecting the EUT (comprised of the equipment units needed to be functionally complete and the
necessary cabling) shall be noted in the test report.
Test configuration
The setups of the equipment and cable or wire placement on the test site that produce the highest radiated
and the highest ac powerline and antenna terminal conducted emissions (if applicable) shall be clearly
shown and described. Drawings or photographs may be used for this purpose. A block diagram showing the
interconnection of the major functional units is also useful.
List of test equipment
A complete list of all test instrumentation used shall be included with the test report. Manufacturer's model
and serial numbers, and date of last calibration and calibration interval, shall be included. Measurement
cable loss, external RF attenuators used, measuring instrument bandwidth and detector function, video
bandwidth, if appropriate, and antenna factors shall also be included where applicable.
Units of measurement
Measurements of conducted emissions shall be reported in units of decibels referenced to 1 mW (dBm).
Measurements of operating frequency, operating frequency with variations in ambient temperature and
input mains or battery voltage, and occupied bandwidth of intentional radiators shall be reported in units of
hertz or multiples thereof [e.g., kilohertz, megahertz]. Measurements of input RF power to intentional
radiators shall be reported in units of watts. All formulas of conversions and conversion factors, if used,
shall be included in the measurement report.
Location of test site
The location of the test site and accreditation expiry date (if applicable) shall be identified in the test report.
Sites that have received recognition from various accreditation bodies shall use the same site address
information as was included in their original application for recognition.
Measurement procedures
The sequence of testing followed to determine the data included in the test report should be documented.
Reporting measurement data
The measurement results along with the appropriate limits for comparison shall be presented in tabular or
graphical form. Alternatively, recorded charts or photographs of a receiver or spectrum analyzer display or
other self-displaying instrumentation may be used if the information is clearly presented showing
comparison to the limits and all data conversion is explained. The method of comparing measured data
output to the limits shall be included.
