Abstract
In September 1991, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standards Board approved two important standards that pertain to radiofrequency (RF)/microwave safety: IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz, C95.1–1991,1 and IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields — RF and Microwave, IEEE C95.3–1991.2 The first standard is primarily a safety standard specifying maximum permissible exposure (MPE) values expressed in terms of field parameters (electric field strength, magnetic field strength and power density) and, for frequencies below 100 MHz, induced current (body and contact). Exclusions expressed in terms of maximum whole-body-averaged and peak specific absorption rates (SAR) are also included. The second standard recommends measurement techniques and procedures that should be followed to ensure compliance with the safety standard.
