This standard applies to short wave broadcast transmitters operating in the frequency range 3 MHz to
30 MHz.
The object of this standard is to demonstrate the compliance of such equipment with the basic
restrictions (directly or indirectly via compliance with reference levels) related to public human
exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.

electromagnetic fields from broadcasting service transmitters in the HF bands (3 MHz - 30 MHz)
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.

antenna
device that serves as a transducer between a guided wave (e.g. coaxial cable) and a free space wave,
or vice versa
3.2
basic restriction
restrictions of 1999/519/EC [1] on exposure to time-varying electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic
fields that are based directly on established health effects
3.3

general public. This service may include sound transmissions, television transmissions or other types
of transmission
3.4
compliance distance
minimum distance from the antenna to a point of investigation where field level is deemed to be
compliant to the limits
3.5
compliance boundary
surface around the antenna outside of which all field levels are deemed to be compliant to the limits
3.6
contact current (IC)
contact current between a person and an object exposed to the field, is expressed in amperes (A).
A conductive object in an electric field can be charged by the field
