Abstract
The newly released IEEE Std C95.1™-2019 defines exposure criteria and associated limits for the protection of persons against established adverse health effects from exposures to electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields, in the frequency range 0 Hz to 300 GHz. The exposure limits apply to persons permitted in restricted environments and to the general public in unrestricted environments. These limits are not intended to apply to the exposure of patients by or under the direction of physicians and care professionals, as well as to the exposure of informed volunteers in scientific research studies, or to the use of medical devices or implants. IEEE Std C95.1™-2019 can be obtained at no cost from the IEEE Get Program https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8859679.
Highlights
INDEX TERMS Non-ionizing radiation protection, radio frequency (RF), RF exposure, RF safety, dosimetric reference limit (DRL), exposure reference level (ERL), induced and contact currents, specific absorption rate (SAR), electric fields, magnetic fields, electromagnetic fields, (epithelial) power density, electrostimulation, general public, restricted environment, unrestricted environment
In 1960, the American Standards Association approved the initiation of the Radiation Hazards Standards Project under the co-sponsorship of the US Department of the Navy and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Incorporated (IEEE); (called the ‘‘Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE)’’ at the time)
dosimetric reference limits (DRL) and exposure reference levels (ERL) protect against adverse health effects associated with electrostimulation of tissue and local and whole-body heating and are intended to apply to common situations where persons are exposed to electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields in the stated frequency range
