For eword
This European Standard was prepared by the Technical Committee CENELEC TC 106X (former TC 211),
Electromagnetic fields in the human environment.
The text of the draft was submitted to the Unique Acceptance Procedure and was approved by CENELEC
as EN 50364 on 2001-05-01.
The following dates were fixed:
- latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2002-04-01
- latest date by which the national standards conflicting
with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2004-04-01
This European Standard has to be read in conjunction with EN 50357.

1 Scope
This product standard applies to devices operating within the frequency range 0 Hz to 10 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 Council
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 Council
Directive 73/23/EEC, 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 Definitions
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 (or 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
