There are excellent regulatory test houses available should you not have the appropriate test facilities or equipment. In fact, many of these test houses can help you debug problems and re-test the results on the spot. Experts who most likely have experienced your specific problems and implemented solutions are on the staff of most compliance test houses.
For example see Elliott Laboratories:

In Conclusion:
EMC compliance for electronics-based products is required by law in most countries for most products, and as a project manager or executive you must ensure that your product development team has the proper knowledge and skills to implement a product design that is compliant if it is required.
Experience has revealed that product development, which incorporates compliance engineering techniques early on may minimally add to development costs and/or production costs and development time. But, it's eventually less costly to the corporation than if a product is engineered for compliance in a late stage of development or re-engineered after the design is finished. More importantly, products that must be complaint, but are not can create moderate to severe economic and market penalties for a corporation.
The right skills and development process can make any electronic product meet EMC requirements. I guarantee it.
