The standard covers all electric and electromagnetic fields from 0 Hz up to 300 GHz, encompassing a wide spectrum of common and emerging electronic technologies.Exposure Limits
Limits are derived from scientific health and biological considerations and are based on:- Basic restrictions - fundamental biological limits
- Exposure limit values - practical limits for workers
- Reference levels or action levels - for practical measurement and compliance verification
Evaluation Methods
Compliance evaluation follows the procedures established in EN 62311:2008, including specific guidance for devices emitting multiple frequencies and additive effects consideration.Uncertainty and Reporting
The standard requires calculating the uncertainty of exposure assessment and mandates an evaluation report consistent with EN 62311:2008 requirements.Complementary Standards
EN 50665 refers to harmonized product standards and directives such as the Radio Equipment Directive (2014/53/EU) and Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU), supporting their essential health and safety requirements.

La norme EN 50665:2017, intitulée "Norme générique pour l'évaluation des équipements électroniques et électriques en rapport avec les restrictions d'exposition humaine aux champs électromagnétiques (0 Hz - 300 GHz)", représente une avancée significative dans la réglementation des équipements électromagnétiques. Son champ d'application est typiquement destiné aux équipements électroniques et électriques pour lesquels aucune norme dédiée n'existe concernant l'exposition humaine aux champs électromagnétiques. L'une des forces majeures de cette norme est sa capacité à fournir un cadre d'évaluation précis pour les équipements concernés, en vérifiant leur conformité avec les limites d'exposition humaine aux champs électriques, magnétiques et électromagnétiques, ainsi qu'aux courants induits et de contact. En cela, la norme s'avère particulièrement pertinente dans un environnement technologique en constante évolution, où la préoccupation pour la sécurité humaine face aux champs électromagnétiques est primordiale. Le fait que la norme couvre un large éventail de fréquences, de 0 Hz à 300 GHz, permet d'adresser aussi bien les émetteurs intentionnels que non intentionnels, ce qui en fait un outil indispensable pour les fabricants et les utilisateurs d'équipements électroniques. En soulignant que l'évaluateur ne peut pas toujours connaître l'environnement global d'exposition de l'équipement, la norme positionne l'évaluation sur des bases pragmatiques, ancrées dans la réalité de l'utilisation des équipements. Néanmoins, il est essentiel de noter que la norme ne couvre pas l'évaluation de la compatibilité électromagnétique avec d'autres équipements, ni les exigences de sécurité des produits, hormis celles spécifiquement liées à l'exposition humaine aux champs électromagnétiques. Cela indique clairement le champ délimité de la norme, la rendant pertinente et ciblée pour son objectif principal. En somme, la norme SIST EN 50665:2018 est un document essentiel pour l'évaluation de l'exposition humaine dans le cadre de l'utilisation d'équipements électroniques et électriques, et sa mise en œuvre est capitale pour garantir la sécurité et la santé des utilisateurs face aux risques potentiels liés aux champs électromagnétiques.
SIST EN 50665:2018は、電気および電子機器が人間の電磁場への曝露制限に関連して評価されるための一般的な標準であり、範囲は0 Hzから300 GHzまでの周波数をカバーしています。このスタンダードの主な目的は、電磁場に対する人間の曝露を制限するための基準に対して、特定の機器を評価するための手法を提供することです。 このスタンダードの大きな強みは、専用の製品標準や製品ファミリー標準が存在しない電気および電子機器に適用可能である点です。これにより、多様な機器に対しても適用でき、電磁波曝露に対する安全性を担保するための重要な基準となります。また、意図的および非意図的な放射器の両方をカバーしている点も評価でき、これによりさまざまな用途の機器に対して幅広く対応できることが示されています。 さらに、このスタンダードは、特定の機器の評価に影響する、全体的な曝露環境についてサプライヤーが知らない場合でも使用可能であるため、柔軟性があります。製品に対する他の標準が適用される場合もあり、特にこの文書は他の機器との電磁干渉の適合性を評価するものではなく、人間の電磁場への曝露に特化しているため、明確な焦点を持っています。 したがって、SIST EN 50665:2018は、電磁場への曝露制限に関する確固たる基準を提供し、電気および電子機器の安全性評価において不可欠な役割を果たす重要な指針であると言えます。この標準によって、業界全体が人間の健康を守るための共通の理解と基準を持つことが期待されます。
SIST EN 50665:2018은 전자기 및 전기 장비의 인체 노출 제한과 관련하여 전자기장(0 Hz - 300 GHz)에 대한 평가를 제공하는 일반 표준입니다. 이 표준의 범위는 전자기장과 유도 전류, 접촉 전류에 대한 인체 노출 한계를 기준으로 장비를 평가할 수 있는 경로를 설정하는 데 중점을 두고 있습니다. 특히, 이 표준은 특정 제품이나 제품군 표준이 존재하지 않는 전자 및 전기 장비에 적용되며, 저전력 장비와 관련된 기준이 없는 경우에만 유효합니다. 이 표준의 강점 중 하나는 고의적 및 비고의적 방사기 모두를 포함한다는 점입니다. 즉, 다양한 전자기파를 발생시킬 수 있는 장비에 대한 포괄적인 평가가 가능하다는 것입니다. 그러나 이 표준은 특정 장비의 공급자가 해당 장비가 사용되는 전반적인 노출 환경을 알지 못할 가능성을 고려하였으며, 특정 장비의 평가에만 초점을 맞추고 있습니다. 이는 사용자와 공급자에게 명확한 가이드를 제공하여 장비의 안전성을 평가하는 데 유리합니다. 또한, SIST EN 50665:2018은 특정 인체 노출에 관한 요구 사항 외에는 다른 제품 안전 요구 사항을 반영하지 않으며, 전자기 호환성에 대한 다른 기준과는 독립적으로 적용됩니다. 이로 인해, 사용자는 보다 안전하고 효과적인 전자기장에 대한 평가를 받을 수 있으며, 이 표준은 전자기장으로 인한 인체 노출을 체계적이고 신뢰성 있게 평가할 수 있는 기초를 제공합니다.
The EN 50665:2017 standard establishes a comprehensive framework for the assessment of electronic and electrical equipment concerning human exposure restrictions for electromagnetic fields (EMF) ranging from 0 Hz to 300 GHz. Its primary scope is to evaluate equipment against limits on human exposure to electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields, which is increasingly relevant in today's technology-driven society where such equipment is ubiquitous. One of the standard's significant strengths is its systematic approach to address equipment lacking specific product or family standards related to human exposure to EMF. This generic standard serves as a vital resource for manufacturers and suppliers, offering a reliable method to ensure compliance with exposure limits and enhancing user safety. By specifying the range of 0 Hz to 300 GHz, the standard covers a broad spectrum of frequencies, accommodating both intentional and non-intentional radiators, which is essential given the diversity of electronic devices in use. Furthermore, the EN 50665:2017 standard recognizes the limitations of suppliers regarding knowledge of the overall exposure environment of their equipment, thus making it explicitly clear that the evaluation focuses solely on the specific equipment being tested. This targeted assessment helps in providing accurate evaluations, ensuring that equipment adheres to established human exposure limits even under unknown operating conditions. While the document primarily centers on human exposure to electromagnetic fields, it is important to note that it does not encompass aspects such as electromagnetic compatibility or general product safety requirements, apart from those directly linked to human exposure. This delineation of scope is useful for ensuring that users do not misinterpret the standard as a comprehensive safety guideline. Overall, EN 50665:2017 holds significant relevance in guiding the assessment of EMF exposure from various electronic and electrical equipment, ensuring that health and safety standards related to electromagnetic fields are upheld. Its focused and practical approach makes it an essential standard for manufacturers and stakeholders involved in the development and evaluation of electronic devices in terms of human exposure limits.
Die Norm EN 50665:2017 stellt einen bedeutenden Schritt in der Bewertung von elektronischen und elektrischen Geräten in Bezug auf menschliche Expositionsgrenzen für elektromagnetische Felder dar. Ihre Anwendungsbreite erstreckt sich über ein Frequenzspektrum von 0 Hz bis 300 GHz, was entscheidend ist, um die Vielfalt der in der modernen Technologie verwendeten Geräte abzudecken. Diese generische Norm richtet sich hauptsächlich an Produkte, für die keine spezifischen Produkt- oder Produktfamilienstandards existieren, insbesondere in Bezug auf die menschliche Exposition gegenüber elektromagnetischen Feldern. Ein herausragendes Merkmal der EN 50665:2017 ist ihr Ansatz zur Bewertung sowohl der absichtlichen als auch der unbeabsichtigten Strahlung von Geräten. Dies ermöglicht eine umfassende Analyse der Exposition von Nutzern in verschiedenen Umgebungen, insbesondere da der Anbieter eines spezifischen Geräts häufig nicht über das gesamte Expositionsumfeld informiert ist. Die Norm bietet somit eine wertvolle Grundlage für Hersteller und Prüfer, um sicherzustellen, dass die menschliche Exposition innerhalb der zulässigen Grenzen bleibt. Zusätzlich zu ihrer breiten Anwendbarkeit betont die Norm die Notwendigkeit, andere relevante Standards zu berücksichtigen, sofern vorhanden. Dies zeigt die Relevanz der Norm im Kontext bestehender Regelungen und ihre Rolle in einem umfassenderen Sicherheitskonzept für elektronische und elektrische Geräte. Es ist jedoch zu beachten, dass die EN 50665:2017 nicht die elektromagnetische Verträglichkeit oder Sicherheit der Produkte bewertet, außer in Bezug auf die menschliche Exposition gegenüber elektromagnetischen Feldern. Insgesamt stärkt die EN 50665:2017 das Bewusstsein für die gesundheitlichen Aspekte der Nutzung elektrischer und elektronischer Geräte und fördert gleichzeitig die verantwortungsvolle Entwicklung solcher Technologien im Einklang mit den Beschränkungen der menschlichen Exposition.
