CENELEC

CLC/TC 106X Electromagnetic fields in the human environment

European Norm

Scope

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.
This standard applies to equipment for which no dedicated harmonized putting-into-service or in situ product standard regarding worker exposure to electromagnetic fields exists. If such a standard does exist then it should be used. At the time of writing there is one applicable standard, for base station equipment, and this should be used for putting-into service or in situ assessment of such equipment with respect to worker exposure to electromagnetic fields:
EN 50401:2017. Product standard to demonstrate the compliance of base station equipment with radiofrequency electromagnetic field exposure limits (110 MHz - 100 GHz), when put into service
The current list of standards harmonized under each Directive should be consulted at the time of use of this standard.
NOTE Other standards can apply to equipment 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.
