Test limits

The Federal Communication Commission (FCC) has a very straight forward approach to the test limits that should be applied to digital devices for both radiated and conducted emissions tests.

Class A limits should only be applied to a digital device that is marketed for commercial, industrial, or business use. The Class A limits can not be used for equipment that is intended for general public use or use in the home.

Class B limits must be applied to any digital device that is marketed for use in a residential environment.
