General and special conditions
If an alternate test method was used, the test report shall identify and describe that method, provide
justification for its use, and describe how the results obtained through its use correlate with the methods
specified by the standard to which the EUT was tested. Instrumentation, instrument attenuator and
bandwidth settings, detector function, EUT arrangement, and all other pertinent details of the test shall be
provided so that the alternate test method can be replicated. When automatic scan techniques were used, an
explanation of how the highest emission relative to the limit from the EUT was determined and the scan
rate used to obtain recorded emissions is to be included in the test report. The actual operating and
environmental conditions (e.g., voltage, powerline frequency, temperature, relative humidity, etc.) shall be
listed in the report.
Summary of results
The test report summary section shall indicate whether the EUT passes or fails, and give margins (where
applicable) with respect to the limits to which it was tested. If the equipment passes only with specific
modifications or special attributes (such as shielded cables), this information shall be included in the
summary results.
Required signatures
The test report shall contain the signature of the representative of the organization performing the tests. In
addition, the test report shall identify the staff responsible for the proper execution of the test, and the name
and address of the party requesting the tests. If changes are made during the period of test to bring the EUT
into compliance, the test report shall so indicate. In addition, the report submitted to the procuring
organization or regulatory agency shall include a signed statement by the manufacturer or developer
agreeing to the changes and their incorporation into production.
Test report appendixes
The test report shall contain, if required, photographs or detailed sketches of the EUT configuration,
showing sufficient information to allow the EUT to be reconfigured in a manner that would allow the
original test to be replicated with a high likelihood that the test results would be in agreement with the
results of the original test within acceptable tolerances.
Test report disposition
The test report shall be maintained by the testing organization for a period of at least three years following
the date of the test. The manufacturer may be required by a regulatory agency to maintain a copy of the
report for a longer period of time.
