Please may i now put this question here because our company is now on the verge of bankruptcy due to Mains Harmonics regulations failure..

I appreciate that for Europe/UK, the regulatory bodies test SMPS’s for mains harmonics at 10V intervals between 195VAC and 265VAC……But is it only the result at 240VAC that determines if it’s a pass or fail?
 

If your company is on the verge of bankruptcy because of failing some regulation, don't you think your very first move would be to read and understand the regulation, or at least hire someone who does?
 

Thanks, the regs (EN61000-3-2) dont actually make it clear which voltage is used for the test.
The following shows (on page 55), that they have tested for Power factor over the full input voltage range....(90-265VAC)

From that you would presume that Mains Harmonics are also tested across the mains range
