Hmmm, indeed! I can't really figure the rational

FedEX, BAX....even the FAA never heard of this "requirement". And
negative on the gauss meter at the pickup centers. A direct quote from
one of the phone drones "If you cannot get the information from the
mfg you'll have to take it to a lab and get it tested"...of course
they couldn't supply the testing parameters...I was just guessing at
the 10 meteres distance figure that I finally used and ...none of the
mfg's supply magnet strength in gauss in their literature [sales or
tech].
Just ask them what the acceptable range is and pick a number in the
middle, then give it to them.
