EMF measurements
Measurement of electromagnetic fields (EMF)
Electromagnetic fields are defined as static and time-varying electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields with frequencies up to 300 gigahertz.
Since November 2016, the EMFV has been in force in Germany, an ordinance to protect employees from hazards caused by electromagnetic fields. The EMFV defines binding radiation limits for companies. Employers are therefore obliged to prove that the radiation risk from EMF has been checked. If necessary, employers must take protective measures to minimize the radiation risk.
With our SMP2 measuring device from Wavecontrol, we can measure and document the following important directives and standards in our EMC laboratory or directly on site at the customer’s premises. The following standards represent an excerpt from our range of services.
- 26th BImschV (since 1997): 26th Ordinance on the Implementation of the Federal Immission Control Act: German ordinance with requirements for the protection of the general public (Public)
- ICNIRP 1998 (NF/HF) and 2010 (NF): general guidelines / limit value recommendations for occupational health and safety (Worker) and protection of the general public (Public)
ICNIRP 1998 (for the HF range) was updated at the beginning of 2020 - European Directive 2013/35/EU: binding regulations in the area of occupational health and safety for the EU
EMFV: “Ordinance on the Protection of Employees from the Dangers of Electromagnetic Fields”: transposition of 2013/35/EU into German law - EU Recommendation 1999/519/EC: EU Recommendation for the general public (Public)
- DIN EN 62209-2: Safety of persons exposed to radio-frequency fields from hand-held and body-worn cordless communication devices
- DIN EN IEC 62311: Evaluation of electronic equipment with respect to limitations of human exposure to electromagnetic fields
- DIN EN 62233: Methods for measuring the electromagnetic fields of household appliances and similar electrical appliances with respect to the safety of persons in electromagnetic fields
- DIN EN 62479: Assessment of the conformity of low-power electronic and electrical equipment with the basic restrictions for the safety of persons exposed to electromagnetic fields
