This standard establishes uniform procedures for the measurement of power frequency electric and magnetic fields from alternating current (ac) overhead power lines and for the calibration of the meters used in these measurements. A uniform procedure is a prerequisite to comparisons of electric and magnetic fields of various ac overhead power lines. These procedures apply to the measurement of electric and magnetic fields close to ground level. They can also be tentatively applied to electric… read more field measurements near an energized conductor or structure with the limitations outlined in 3.5. read less
Develop safety levels for human exposure to electromagnetic fields from 0 to 3kHz. This standard will be based on the results of an evaluation of the relevant scientific literature and proven effects which are well established and for which thresholds of reaction are understood. Field limits will be derived from threshold current densities or internal electric fields.
This standard specifies exposure criteria and limits to protect against established adverse health effects in humans associated with exposure to electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields in the frequency range of 0 Hz to 300 GHz.1,2 These limits, incorporating safety margins, are expressed in terms of dosimetric reference limits (DRL) and exposure reference levels (ERL). DRLs are expressed in terms of in situ electric field strength, specific absorption rate (SAR), and epithelial power density. ERLs, which are more easily determined, are limits on external electric and magnetic fields, incident power density, induced and contact currents, and contact voltages intended to ensure that the DRLs are not exceeded. The limits, which protect against adverse health effects associated with electrostimulation of tissue and local and whole-body heating, are intended to apply to the described human exposure conditions. However, these levels are not intended to address exposures of patients or human research subjects under the care of medical professionals for which other risks and benefits might apply. These exposure limits might not prevent interference with medical and other devices that might exhibit susceptibility to electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Develop revised maximum permissible exposure (MPE) levels for exposures to electromagnetic fields for exposures in controlled and uncontrolled environments at frequencies between 3 kHz and 300 Ghz. The MPEs will be expressed in terms of quantifiable parameters such as electric-field strength, magnetic-field strength, power density, induced current and contact current. Exclusions and peak limits for pulsed fields will be included.
This standard provides procedures for the measurement of electric and magnetic fields in close proximity to video display terminals (VDTs) in the frequency range of 5 Hz to 400 kHz. This standard adapts existing international measurement technologies [B7] and practices to achieve a consistent and harmonious VDT measurement standard for testing in a laboratory controlled environment. Such measurements are needed for investigative studies that rely on the knowledge of electric and magnetic field… read more levels near electronic equipment. The requirements of the controlled laboratory test environment in which the characteristics specified in this standard are to be tested are difficult to establish at a user's installation. Therefore, it is recognized that the results obtained in the laboratory may be difficult to reproduce in the on-site environment. This standard does not provide measurements at specific frequencies, but does provide one measurement for each of two frequency bands: 5 Hz to 2 kHz and 2 kHz to 400 kHz read less
This document provides recommendations for electromagnetic field measurement locations, procedures, and results evaluation for corridors containing both alternating current (ac) and direct current (dc) overhead transmission lines. This document primarily addresses application of parallel ac and dc lines that are in close proximity either on separate or shared structures.
This standard provides recommendations to protect personnel in military environments against established adverse health effects associated with exposure to electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields, induced and contact current, and contact and arcing voltages over the frequency range of 0 Hz to 300 GHz. The recommendations, expressed as dosimetric reference limits (DRLs) and exposure reference levels (ERLs), incorporate safety factors that address uncertainties such as uncertainties in the… read more experimental data, measurement uncertainties, and differences in threshold variability between individuals, so as to establish an appropriate margin of safety. The DRLs are expressed in terms of in situ electric field strength, specific absorption rate (SAR), and incident power density. The ERLs are expressed in terms of environmental exposure fields and power densities. In the case of contact current, however, only ERLs are provided. The DRLs and ERLs are intended to protect against established adverse human health effects associated with electrostimulation of tissue and partial and whole-body heating, but may not protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI) with implanted medical devices. This standard does not apply to exposure of informed volunteers in medical or scientific research studies subject to approval by institutional review boards for the use of human subjects, nor does it include exposure assessment techniques, risk management/safety program procedures, warning sign design, procedures for medical treatment of suspected overexposures, nor assessment of hazards associated with exposure of ordnance, fuel, or electro-explosive devices. read less
