(Main)Determination of RF field strength, power density and SAR in the vicinity of base stations for the purpose of evaluating human exposure
Determination of RF field strength, power density and SAR in the vicinity of base stations for the purpose of evaluating human exposure
IEC 62232:2022 addresses the evaluation of RF field strength, power density and specific absorption rate (SAR) levels in the vicinity of base stations (BS), also called products or equipment under test (EUT), intentionally radiating in the radio frequency (RF) range 110 MHz to 300 GHz in accordance with the scope, see Clause 1. It does not address the evaluation of current density. RF exposure evaluation methods to be used for product compliance, product installation compliance and in-situ RF exposure assessments are specified in this document. Exposure limits are not specified in this document. The entity conducting RF exposure assessments refers to the set of exposure limits applicable where exposure takes place. Examples of applicable exposure limits considered in this document are provided in the Bibliography, for example ICNIRP-2020 [1], ICNIRP-1998 [2], IEEE Std C95.1™-2019 [3] and Safety Code 6 [4].
Bestimmung der HF-Feldstärke, der Leistungsdichte und der spezifischen Absorptionsrate (SAR) in der Nachbarschaft von Funkkommunikations-Basisstationen zur Ermittlung der menschlichen Exposition
Détermination de l'intensité de champ de radiofréquences, de la densité de puissance et du DAS à proximité des stations de base dans le but d'évaluer l'exposition humaine
IEC 62232:2022 traite de l’évaluation de l’intensité du champ RF, de la densité de puissance et des niveaux de débit d’absorption spécifique (DAS) à proximité des stations de base (BS), également appelées produits ou équipements sous test (EUT), rayonnant intentionnellement dans la gamme des radiofréquences (RF) de 110 MHz à 300 GHz conformément au domaine d’application, voir Article 1. Il ne traite pas de l’évaluation de la densité actuelle. Les méthodes d’évaluation de l’exposition aux RF à utiliser pour la conformité du produit, la conformité de l’installation du produit et les évaluations in situ de l’exposition aux RF sont spécifiées dans le présent document. Les limites d’exposition ne sont pas spécifiées dans le présent document. L’entité qui effectue les évaluations de l’exposition aux RF fait référence à l’ensemble des limites d’exposition applicables là où l’exposition a lieu. Des exemples de limites d’exposition applicables examinées dans le présent document sont fournis dans la bibliographie, par exemple ICNIRP-2020 [1], ICNIRP-1998 [2], IEEE Std C95.1-2019™ [3] et Safety Code 6 [4].
Določitev RF poljske jakosti, gostote moči in SAR v okolici baznih postaj za namene ocenjevanja izpostavljenosti ljudi
Ta dokument opisuje metode za določitev radiofrekvenčne (RF) poljske jakosti, gostote moči in specifične hitrosti absorpcije (SAR) v okolici baznih postaj (BS) za namene ocenjevanja izpostavljenosti ljudi. Ta dokument: a) obravnava namerno sevajoče bazne postaje, ki oddajajo prek ene ali več anten z eno ali več frekvencami v območju od 110 MHz do 300 GHz; b) upošteva vpliv okoliških virov na radiofrekvenčno izpostavljenost vsaj v frekvenčnem območju od 100 kHz do 300 GHz; c) določa metode, ki se uporabljajo za oceno radiofrekvenčne izpostavljenosti za oceno skladnosti, in sicer: 1) skladnost izdelka – določitev meje skladnosti za izdelek bazne postaje, preden je uveden na trg; 2) skladnost namestitve izdelka – določitev ravni skupne radiofrekvenčne izpostavljenosti v dostopnih območjih pri bazni postaji in drugih ustreznih virih, preden se izdelek začne uporabljati; 3) ocena radiofrekvenčne izpostavljenosti na mestu uporabe – merjenje ravni radiofrekvenčne izpostavljenosti na mestu uporabe v bližini bazne postaje, ko izdelek začne obratovati; d) določa, kako izvesti oceno radiofrekvenčne izpostavljenosti na podlagi dejanskega največjega pristopa; e) opisuje več metodologij za merjenje in izračun radiofrekvenčne poljske jakosti, gostote moči ter SAR z navodili za njihovo uporabo pri obravnavi vrednotenja na lokaciji nameščene bazne postaje in vrednotenj v laboratoriju; f) opisuje, kako nadzorniki vzpostavijo posebne postopke vrednotenja, ki ustrezajo njihovemu namenu; g) podaja smernice o tem, kako poročati, razlagati in primerjati rezultate iz različnih metodologij vrednotenja ter, če to zahteva namen vrednotenja, določiti utemeljeno odločitev glede mejne vrednosti; h) zagotavlja metode za oceno radiofrekvenčne izpostavljenosti bazne postaje z uporabo časovno spremenljivih tehnologij za usmerjanje snopa, kot je nova radijska (NR) bazna postaja z uporabo več vhodov in več izhodov (MIMO). OPOMBA 1: V spremnem tehničnem poročilu IEC TR 62669:2019 [5] so kot primer na voljo študije primerov praktične izvedbe. OPOMBA 2: Čeprav je za trenutne vrste baznih postaj določeno, da delujejo do 200 GHz (glej na primer [6] in [7]), je zgornja frekvenca 300 GHz skladna z veljavnimi omejitvami izpostavljenosti. OPOMBA 3: Nižja frekvenca 100 kHz, upoštevana za okoljske vire, izhaja iz določil ICNIRP-1998 [2] in ICNIRP-2020 [1]. Vendar nekatere veljavne smernice za izpostavljenost zahtevajo, da se okoljska polja ocenijo že pri 3 kHz, npr. varnostni predpis 6 [4] in IEEE Std C95.1-2019 [3]. OPOMBA 4: Specifikacije ustreznih ukrepov za zmanjšanje radiofrekvenčne izpostavljenosti, kot so znaki, nadzor dostopa in usposabljanje, ne spadajo na področje uporabe tega dokumenta. Pri teh temah se je mogoče sklicevati na veljavne predpise ali priporočene prakse. OPOMBA 5: Čeprav ta dokument temelji na trenutnem mednarodnem soglasju o dobri inženirski praksi za ocenjevanje skladnosti radiofrekvenčne izpostavljenosti z veljavnimi mejami izpostavljenosti, je možno, da nacionalne regulativne agencije določijo drugačne zahteve. Subjekt, ki izvaja oceno radiofrekvenčne izpostavljenosti, mora poznati veljavne predpise.
