Susceptibility Testing (RTCA/DO 160F)

I recently read through RTCA/DO 160F, section 20, for susceptibility
testing (radiated and conducted). There are few questions in my mind,
which I want to discuss. You can add your few cents to the
discussion.

These instructions in the section 20 outline how to test a unit. For a
given equipment (say a wire or harness), how much can you test for
susceptibility? What is enough? There were two thought in my mind: 1)
A wire or harness can conduct up its rating, which would be the upper
limit to test for conducted susceptibility; 2) I thought in the end it
becomes a design parameter to make a design which takes into account
the RF noise.

Just my thoughts...what is your opinion?
