Regulations and Approvals
Make sure all equipment is rated and approved for the environment in which

Currently there are two organizations that set recommended guidelines for
exposure to occupational microwave radiation exposure, OSHA (U.S.
Department of labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration −
Directive 29cfr 1910.97) and ANSI (American National Standards Institute −
Directive C95.1−1982). The ANSI directive, which is more stringent and
most commonly referred to, states that individuals should not be exposed to
microwave radiation levels above 5 mW/cm

at 2.45 GHz on a continuous
basis.
