Limitation of human exposure to electromagnetic fields from devices operating in the frequency range 0 Hz to 300 GHz, used in Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and similar applications
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. This product standard may be used for demonstration of compliance to the requirements of the RTTE Directive 1999/5/EC, with regard to the limitation of human exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs). There are additional requirements covered by the Directive, which are not included in this product standard. This product standard may be used for demonstration of compliance to the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC, with regard to the limitation of human exposure to EMFs. There are additional requirements covered by the Directive, which are not included in this product standard. It should be noted that the supplier of a specific piece of equipment might not know the overall exposure environment in which the equipment is being used. This product standard can only assess the human exposure from the specific equipment under evaluation when being used according to the supplier’s guidelines. 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.

3 Terms and Definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
basic restrictions
restrictions on exposure to electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields that are based directly on
established health effects and biological considerations
3.2
reference levels
derived reference levels
levels provided for practical exposure assessment purposes. They are derived from basic restrictions.
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
3.3
EMF
electric, magnetic or electromagnetic field
3.4
EAS
electronic article surveillance
3.5
induced current density
electromagnetic field induced current per unit area inside the body
3.6
power density
power per unit area normal to the direction of electromagnetic wave propagation
3.7
RFID
radio frequency identification
3.8
Specific Absorption Rate
SAR
the physical quantity in which the basic restrictions of protection guidelines are defined in part of the
frequency range specified in the scope. For a detailed definition see EN 62369-1.
4 Exposure conditions and limits
In all cases, the equipment documentation shall clearly state the intended use condition.
The limits shall be the values of basic restrictions and reference levels from the EC Recommendation.
It should be noted that the tables of values referred to in the following sections are explained and rationalised
in the text of the EC Recommendation and the associated notes adjoining the tables. The EC
Recommendation bases its values on the work provided in the ICNIRP Guidelines, which may be consulted
for background information on the derivation of the values concerned. This applies to equipment used by, or
in proximity to, the general public.
Equipment which meets the requirements for general public exposure as given in this document may be used
in an occupational environment. If the equipment could be used under occupational conditions, but in an area
where the general public may be exposed, then the exposure shall be assessed against the general public
requirements under the conditions expected for that exposure situation. However the general public is not
expected to occupy areas intended exclusively for workers
In cases where occupational exposure is greater than the exposure for the general public the occupational
exposure level shall also be assessed but not compared against the values in the EC Recommendation for
conformity assessment purposes. In such cases information on installation and use shall be provided in the
user documentation sufficient to maintain the exposure of the general public below the values provided in the
EC Recommendation. Information on the occupational exposure levels shall be available for employers
making risk assessments and the source of the information shall be identified in the user documentation.
Some equipment may be used only in an occupational environment (general public access is prohibited or
regulated in such a way as to be similar to occupational use). In such cases, where occupational exposure is
greater than the levels allowed for general public exposure, the equipment must be defined for occupational
use. This standard can only then be used for the purpose of presumption of conformity with applicable
Directives when there is an identified distance in the product documentation for general public exposure and
evaluation is made for compliance at that distance. Information on the occupational exposure levels should
be made available for employers making risk assessments and the information, or source of the information,
shall also be identified in the user documentation.
5 Evaluation of compliance
5.1 General
The EC Recommendation shall be consulted to determine whether an exposure assessment is required for
the general public. Certain types of equipment and applications may be excluded or given special
consideration. It must be noted tha
