4. REQUIREMENTS
4.2 Shielded enclosures.
To prevent interaction between the EUT and the outside environment, shielded enclosures will usually be required for testing. These enclosures prevent external environment signals from contaminating emission measurements and susceptibility test signals from interfering with electrical and electronic items in the vicinity of the test facility. Shielded enclosures must have adequate attenuation
such that the ambient requirements of paragraph 4.4 are satisfied. The enclosures must be sufficiently large such that the EUT arrangement requirements of paragraph 4.8 and antenna positioning requirements described in the individual test methods are satisfied.

Introduction
1.1 Purpose.
This standard establishes general techniques for use in the measurement and determination of the electromagnetic emission and susceptibility characteristics of electronic, electrical, and electromechanical equipment and subsystems designed or procured for use by activities and agencies of the Department of Defense.
1.2 Application.
The testing techniques of this standard are used to obtain data for determination of compliance with the specified MIL-STD-461 requirements. The test methods contained in this document shall be adapted by the testing activity for each application. The adapted test methods shall be documented in the Electromagnetic Interference Test Procedures (EMITP) required by MIL-STD-461.
