Limitation of human exposure to electromagnetic fields from devices operating in the frequency range 0 Hz to 300 GHz, used in Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and similar applications
This product standard applies to devices operating within the frequency range 0 Hz to 300 GHz, used in electronic article surveillance (EAS), radio frequency identification (RFID) and similar applications.
This product standard may be used for demonstration of compliance to the requirements of the RTTE Directive 1999/5/EC, with regard to the limitation of human exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs). There are additional requirements covered by the Directive, which are not included in this product standard.
This product standard may be used for demonstration of compliance to the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC, with regard to the limitation of human exposure to EMFs. There are additional requirements covered by the Directive, which are not included in this product standard.
It should be noted that the supplier of a specific piece of equipment might not know the overall exposure environment in which the equipment is being used. This product standard can only assess the human exposure from the specific equipment under evaluation when being used according to the supplier’s guidelines.
Other standards can apply to products covered by this document. In particular this document is not designed to evaluate the electromagnetic compatibility with other equipment; nor does it reflect any product safety requirements other than those specifically related to human exposure to electromagnetic fields.
