Limits of human exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic energy in the frequency range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz .: H129-48/2015E-PDF
The purpose of this code is to specify maximum levels of human exposure to radiofrequency (RF) fields at frequencies between 3 kHz and 300 GHz, to prevent adverse human health effects in both controlled and uncontrolled environments. In this code, controlled environments are defined as those where all of the following conditions are satisfied: the RF field intensities in the controlled area have been adequately characterized by means of measurements or calculation, the exposure is incurred by persons who are aware of the potential for RF exposure and are cognizant of the intensity of the RF fields in their environment and, the exposure is incurred by persons who are aware of the potential health risks associated with RF field exposures and can control their risk using mitigation strategies. Situations that do not meet all the specifications above are considered to be uncontrolled environments. Uncontrolled environments are defined as areas where either insufficient assessment of RF fields has been conducted or where persons who are allowed access to these areas have not received proper RF field awareness/safety training and have no means to assess or, if required, to mitigate their exposure to RF fields.
