Generic standard to demonstrate the compliance of equipment used by workers with limits on exposure to electromagnetic fields (0 Hz - 300 GHz), when put into service or in situ
The object of this generic standard is to provide a route for evaluation of equipment used by workers against limits on human exposure to electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields, and induced and contact current when it is put into service in its operational environment, and also for in situ or post-market evaluation of such equipment.
The frequency range covered is 0 Hz to 300 GHz.
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.
This standard applies to electronic and electrical equipment for which no dedicated put into service or in situ product or product family standard regarding worker exposure to electromagnetic fields exists. If such a standard does exist then it shall be used and this standard shall not.
