Ensuring public safety from electromagnetic fields is a key focus for CENELEC, the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization, and for the IEC, the International Electrotechnical Commission: A comprehensive suite of standards exists to address various aspects of human exposure to these fields, ranging from everyday appliances to powerful broadcasting equipment and wireless communication devices.

One significant area of standardization concerns the evaluation of fields generated by base stations, with guidelines for determining field strength and power density to ensure human exposure remains within safe limits. Similarly, methods for measuring electromagnetic fields emanating from household appliances and comparable equipment are well-defined, complemented by a clarification for earlier guidance.

For wireless communication devices, particularly those used close to the ear, specific product standards are in place to demonstrate compliance with basic restrictions and exposure limits. These standards have also been updated to reflect advancements and ensure continued relevance. Beyond common devices, there are dedicated standards for assessing exposure from systems like Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID).

Broadcasting remains another crucial area, with established methods for evaluating exposure from stand-alone transmitters across a wide frequency range, and specialized guidance for High Frequency (HF) band transmitters. Furthermore, there are detailed procedures for assessing worker exposure at broadcast sites and general methods for evaluating electromagnetic fields around power transformers. Overall, these standards provide a robust framework for safeguarding human health against electromagnetic fields in diverse environments.
