During the late nineteen eighties and early nineteen nineties there was aconcentrated industrial effort to provide an individual technical quality performance recognition standard (certification). It was administered by the National Association of Radio and Telecommunications Engineers (NARTE), now known as the International Association for Radio, Telecommunications and Electromagnetics(iNARTE). NARTE provided the means for EMC personnel to certify their technical competence using a third-party methodology. The thought was if you had proven experts designing, administering, and reviewing the EMC/EMI tests then you would ensure a high level of quality and degree of competency. One of the side benefits you would receive wasa quick test time since you are dealing with recognized professionals. Today,I see us drifting away from where the technicians are the masters of the test. The current trend is to migrate toward the automated process as the test control.
