Generic standard for assessment of electronic and electrical equipment related to human exposure restrictions for electromagnetic fields (0 Hz - 300 GHz)

Scope

This European Standard applies to electronic and electrical equipment for which no dedicated harmonized product- or product family standard, or standard relating to low power equipment, regarding human exposure to electromagnetic fields exists. If such a standard does exist then it shall be used and this standard shall not. Annex A lists such harmonized standards available at the time of writing This list may change with time. The current list of standards harmonized under each Directive should be consulted at the time of use of this standard.
The object of this generic standard is to provide a route for evaluation of such equipment against limits on human exposure to electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields, and induced and contact current.
The frequency range covered is 0 Hz to 300 GHz.
This standard is intended to cover both intentional and non-intentional radiators.
NOTE 1 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.
NOTE 2 This standard addresses only human exposure from the specific equipment under evaluation. There is an applicable putting-into service/in situ standard for equipment used by workers when at work: EN 50664:2017. Generic standard to demonstrate the compliance of equipment intended for use only by workers with limits on human exposure to electromagnetic fields (0 Hz - 300 GHz), when put into service or in situ.
