EN 62209-1:2016

Measurement procedure for the assessment of specific absorption rate of human exposure to radio frequency fields from hand-held and body-mounted wireless communication devices - Part 1: Devices used next to the ear (Frequency range of 300 MHz to 6 GHz)

IEC 62209-1:2016 specifies protocols and test procedures for measurement of the peak spatial-average SAR induced inside a simplified model of the head with defined reproducibility. It applies to certain electromagnetic field (EMF) transmitting devices that are positioned next to the ear, where the radiating structures of the device are in close proximity to the human head, such as mobile phones, cordless phones, certain headsets, etc. These protocols and test procedures provide a conservative estimate with limited uncertainty for the peak-spatial SAR that would occur in the head for a significant majority of people during normal use of these devices. The applicable frequency range is from 300 MHz to 6 GHz. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2005. This edition constitutes a technical revision.

Messverfahren für die Beurteilung der spezifischen Absorptionsrate bei der Exposition von Personen gegenüber hochfrequenten Feldern von handgehaltenen und am Körper getragenen schnurlosen Kommunikationsgeräten – Teil 1: Geräte, die in enger Nachbarschaft zum Ohr benutzt werden (Frequenzbereich von 300 MHz bis 6 GHz)

Procédure de mesure pour l'évaluation du débit d'absorption spécifique de l'exposition humaine aux champs radiofréquences produits par les dispositifs de communications sans fil tenus à la main ou portés près du corps - Partie 1: Dispositifs utilisés à proximité de l’oreille (Plage de fréquences de 300 MHz à 6 GHz)

L'IEC 62209-1:2016 spécifie les protocoles et les procédures d'essai pour le mesurage du DAS maximal moyenné induit à l'intérieur d'un modèle simplifié de la tête avec une reproductibilité définie. Elle s'applique à certains dispositifs de communication tels que les téléphones mobiles, les téléphones sans fil, les casques, etc., émettant des champs électromagnétiques (EMF) et qui sont utilisés tenus contre l'oreille, les structures rayonnantes étant proches de la tête. Ces protocoles et procédures d'essai fournissent une estimation prudente avec une incertitude limitée pour le DAS maximal qui se produirait dans la tête pour une grande majorité de personnes lors de l'utilisation normale de ces dispositifs. La plage de fréquences applicable s'étend de 300 MHz à 6 GHz. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2005. Cette édition constitue une révision technique.

Izpostavljenost ljudi elektromagnetnemu sevanju brezžičnih komunikacijskih naprav, ki se držijo v roki ali pritrdijo na telo, modeli človeka, instrumenti in postopki - 1. del: Postopki za ugotavljanje stopnje specifične absorpcije (SAR) za naprave, ki se uporabljajo v bližini ušesa (frekvenčno območje od 300 MHz do 6 GHz)

Ta del standarda IEC 62209 določa protokole in preskusne postopke za merjenje najvišje prostorsko-povprečne stopnje specifične absorpcije znotraj poenostavljenega modela glave z določeno ponovljivostjo. Uporablja se za nekatere prenosne naprave z elektromagnetnim poljem (EMF), ki so nameščene ob ušesu, pri čemer so sevajoči deli naprave v neposredni bližini uporabnikove glave, kot so mobilni telefoni, brezžični telefoni, nekateri tipi slušalk, itd. Ti protokoli in preskusni postopki zagotavljajo previdno oceno z omejeno negotovostjo glede najvišje prostorske stopnje specifične absorpcije, do katere bi prišlo v glavi za veliko večino uporabnikov naprave med običajno uporabo te naprave. Uporablja se frekvenčni razpon od 300 MHz do 6 GHz.
