The object of this standard is to provide a route for evaluation of household and electrical appliances and similar equipment used in the workplace against limits on human exposure to electric and magnetic fields.
This standard applies to equipment containing transformers and power supplies, motors, heating elements, or their combination, such as domestic appliances, light industrial and workplace appliances, electric tools and electric toys. It applies to equipment powered from the mains, by batteries or by any other electrical power source. This standard specifically does not apply to:
- apparatus intended to be part of the fixed electrical installation of buildings (such as fuses, circuit breakers, cables and switches);
- radio and television receivers, audio and video equipment, and electronic music instruments;
- medical electrical appliances;
- personal computers and similar equipment;
- radio transmitters;
- industrial equipment for heating materials using electrical arcs, electric or magnetic fields and/or electromagnetic waves with a frequency below 300 GHz;
- wireless or inductive power transfer;
- inductive loop systems for T-coil receivers.
The frequency range covered is 10 Hz to 400 kHz.
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.
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.
