And when you have got up off the floor, remember that for certain types =
of product, the cost can be
reduced to close to nothing if you are confident that your product meets =
the requirements of the
various applicable standards. e.g. if your product is a 4MHz PIC on a =
well laid out PCB, well
decoupled, with minimal scope for radiating (unduly long wires etc.) then=
 testing for radiated
emissions is likely to be a waste of time - you'll be lucky to be able to=
 detect it far less measure
it.

Remember that test houses are in the business of selling their services, =
not telling you how little
testing you can get by with,
