This is very good news for the HF spectrum, but will not reduce efforts to improve emission standards for frequencies below 30MHz.
The existing standards are based on conducted emissions at the connection ports of the apparatus – pressure has been building for many years now to have radiated emission test.

Work continues in CISPR to bring about this change, with radio amateurs leading the thinking.
