ISNs are described and/or specified per the EMC standard scoped for the end-use equipment. CISPR16-1-2 and ANSI C63.4 are common references. If you deviate from the suggested connections, your test data, at worst, may have no meaning; and at best, maybe valid only for comparison for your local stuff.
Test labs/notified bodies typically disallow the common 'safety' disconnect devices and employ large filter banks to supply their ISNs.
