Human exposure to radio frequency energy
Relevant standards (USA and EC) applicable when working with RF equipment are:
l ANSI IEEE C95.1-2005, IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio
Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz
l Council recommendation of 12 July 1999 on the limitation of exposure of the general public to
electromagnetic fields (0 Hz to 300 GHz) (1999/519/EC) and respective national regulations
l Directive 2013/35/EU - electromagnetic fields of 26 June 2013 on the minimum health and safety
requirements regarding the exposure of workers to the risks arising from physical agents
(electromagnetic fields) (20th individual Directive within the meaning of Article 16(1) of Directive
89/391/EEC) and repealing Directive 2004/40/EC.
l US FCC limits for the general population. See the FCC web site at http://www.fcc.gov, and the
policies, guidelines, and requirements in Part 1 of Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations, as
well as the guidelines and suggestions for evaluating compliance in FCC OET Bulletin 65
l Health Canada limits for the general population. See the Health Canada web site at
https://www.canada.ca/en.html.
l EN 62232: 2017 Determination of RF field strength, power density and SAR in the vicinity of
radiocommunication base stations for the purpose of evaluating human exposure (IEC
62232:2017)
l EN 50385:2017 Product standard to demonstrate the compliance of base station equipment with
radiofrequency electromagnetic field exposure limits (110 MHz - 100 GHz), when placed on the
market
l ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) guidelines for the
general public. See the ICNIRP web site at
https://www.icnirp.org/cms/upload/publications/ICNIRPemfgdl.pdf and Guidelines for Limiting
Exposure to Time-Varying Electric, Magnetic, and Electromagnetic Fields.
Power density exposure limit
Install the radios for the 60 GHz cnWave platform family of wireless solutions to provide and maintain the
minimum separation distances from all persons.
The applicable FCC power density exposure limit for RF energy in the 57 – 66 GHz frequency bands is 10
W/m
