One of the standard tests to gain an EMC Compliance Certificate is a spark discharge test.
Any experienced engineer will have a Spark Generator (Car Ignition coil, spark gap and short Dipole) to test to see if his latest project misbehaves when confronted with Impulse Interference.
As an EMC Investigator I would always carry a spark generator to demonstrate to newby engineers why EMC Compliance is so important.
I've seen a spark from 50ft away crash or reset a microprocessor system. Just the static discharge from walking on carpet is often enough.
