Conducted emission measurements in the 2-150 kHz range in grids must be compatible with traditional laboratory methods as defined by CISPR 16.  Compatibility is demonstrated by a laboratory comparison between the new grid method and existing CISPR 16 methods used for laboratory testing.  Demonstrating comparability is essential to ensure continuity and acceptability of the proposed new normative method by the existing users of the CISPR 16 equipment. 

The comparison is carried out using a 2‑150 kHz test bed with the required impedance networks; the IEC 61000‑4-7 artificial mains network and the CISPR 16 AMN. The emissions from selection of mass-market appliances are measured in the test bed using both (CISPR and 4-7) methods and the waveforms recorded.  To complete the comparison the laboratory test bed measurements of the appliances is then repeated using the new method.  The results of the methods are compared to satisfy industry that the new method is compatible with existing methods in these less demanding laboratory conditions.
