1 Scope
This product standard applies to devices operating within the frequency range 0 Hz to 300 GHz, used in
electronic article surveillance (EAS), radio frequency identification (RFID) and similar applications, in relation
to exposure to electromagnetic fields
The object of this product standard is to provide a route for evaluation of such equipment against limits on
human exposure to electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields, and induced and contact current.
NOTE Other standards can apply to products covered by this document. In particular this document is not designed
to evaluate the electromagnetic compatibility with other equipment; nor does it reflect any product safety requirements
other than those specifically related to human exposure to electromagnetic fields.
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references,
the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

used for electronic article surveillance, radio frequency identification and similar systems (IEC 62369-1:2008)

for electromagnetic fields (0 Hz - 300 GHz) (IEC/CDV 62311:201X)]

electromagnetic fields (0 Hz to 300 GHz), Official Journal, L199, of 1999-7-30, p.59-70

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
action level
level provided for practical exposure assessment purposes, derived from exposure limit values
Note 1 to entry: Respect of the action level will ensure respect of the relevant exposure limit value. If the action level is
exceeded, it does not necessarily follow that the exposure limit value will be exceeded.
3.2
basic restriction
restriction on exposure of the general public to electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields that is based
directly on established health effects and biological considerations
3.3
exposure limit value
restriction on exposure of workers to electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields that is based directly on
established health effects and biological considerations
3.4
reference level
derived reference level
level provided for practical exposure assessment purposes, derived from basic restrictions
Note 1 to entry: Respect of the reference level will ensure respect of the relevant basic restriction. If the reference level
is exceeded, it does not necessarily follow that the basic restriction will be exceeded.
4 Exposure conditions
Equipment which meets the limits for general public exposure as given in this document (Clause 5) will
automatically meet the limits for workers.
Equipment which meets the limits for workers will not necessarily meet the limits for the general public and,
unless intended only for workers’ use when at work, equipment shall be tested against general public limits.
Equipment intended only for use by workers when at work shall have this condition clearly identified in the
user instructions. This use condition shall be identified in the test report.
All intended operating conditions as well as the reasonably foreseeable conditions of human exposure from
the product shall be taken into account in the evaluation.
The reasonably foreseeable conditions of exposure should be based on realistic exposure and/or installation
parameters representative of all readily-predictable human and system behaviour such as the duration of
exposure, time varying of transmitted power, simultaneously operated frequency bands and time averaging
as defined in normative limits.
In cases where the reasonably foreseeable exposure conditions for workers are different from the
reasonably foreseeable exposure conditions for the general public, then a separate assessment shall be
made covering those differences.
5 Normative limits
For equipment intended for use by the general public the relevant exposure restrictions in Council
Recommendation 1999/519/EC shall be applied. For equipment intended only for use by workers when at
work, the relevant exposure restrictions in Directive 2013/35/EU shall be applied, with a statement as to
whether the limit chosen provides protection against health effects or sensory effects or both.
Details of where limits are to be found in Directive 2013/35/EU, and how they relate to test methods, are
given in 6.3.
6 Assessment of compliance
6.1 General
The device being assessed is deemed to fulfil the requirements of this standard if all the measured and
calculated values performed according to Clause 6, are less than or equal to the applicable exposure limits
defined in Clause 5
Equipment complying with the requirements for the general public is deemed to comply with the
requirements for workers without further testing.
Measurements and calculations to demonstrate equipment compliance shall be made according to
EN 62369-1:2009, Clause 4. The general conditions as defined in that clause shall apply to all equipment.
The measuring or calculation distance shall be the closest reasonably foreseeable human exposure distance
measured from the edge or face of the equipment nearest to the relevant position of exposure. The chosen
measuring or calculation distance, including the values given in EN 62369-1:2009, Table 1 and Figures 3 to
11, if used, shall be justified in the evaluation report as being the closest reasonable foreseeable human
exposure distance.
NOTE When using numerical modelling methods, in some cases, the homogeneous hand model in EN 62369-
1:2009, Annex B can cause artificial hot-spots to be introduced because of the sharp edges on the model. In order to
reduce this possibility the model can be used with radius edges up to a maximum of 2.5mm radius; which is compatible
with the finger spacing used in the original model.
6.2 Assessment of devices which emit multiple frequencies
In situations where simultaneous exposure to fields of different frequencies occurs, the possibility
