(Main)Measurement of DC magnetic fields, AC magnetic and electric fields from 1 Hz to 100 kHz with regard to exposure of human beings - Requirements for instruments
Measurement of DC magnetic fields, AC magnetic and electric fields from 1 Hz to 100 kHz with regard to exposure of human beings - Requirements for instruments
EN IEC 61786-1 provides guidance for measuring instruments used to measure the field strength of quasi-static magnetic and electric fields that have a frequency content in the range 1 Hz to 100 kHz and with DC magnetic fields to evaluate the exposure levels of the human body to these fields. Sources of fields include devices that operate at power frequencies and produce power frequency and power frequency harmonic fields, as well as devices that produce fields within the frequency range of this document, including devices that produce static fields, and the earth’s static magnetic field. The magnitude ranges covered by this standard are 0,1 μT to 200 mT in AC (1 μT to 10 T in DC) and 1 V/m to 50 kV/m for magnetic fields and electric fields, respectively. When measurements outside this range are performed, most of the provisions of this standard will still apply, but special attention should be paid to specified uncertainty and calibration procedures. Specifically, this standard - defines terminology; - identifies requirements on field meter specifications; - indicates methods of calibration; - defines requirements on instrumentation uncertainty; - describes general characteristics of fields; - describes operational principles of instrumentation. Sources of uncertainty during calibration are also identified. In regard to electric field measurements, this standard considers only the measurement of the unperturbed electric field strength at a point in free space (i.e. the electric field prior to the introduction of the field meter and operator) or above conducting surfaces. This horizontal standard is primarily intended for use by technical committees in the preparation of standards in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 108. One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is, wherever applicable, to make use of horizontal standards in the preparation of its publications. The contents of this horizontal standard will not apply unless specifically referred to or included in the relevant publications.

Mesure de champs magnétiques continus et de champs magnétiques et électriques alternatifs dans la plage de fréquences de 1 Hz à 100 kHz dans leur rapport à l'exposition humaine - Exigences applicables aux instruments
L'IEC 61786-1:2013 comporte des lignes directrices concernant les instruments de mesure utilisés pour la mesure des valeurs des champs magnétiques et électriques quasi-statiques avec des composantes fréquentielles comprises entre 1 Hz et 100 kHz ainsi que des champs magnétiques continus, permettant d'évaluer les niveaux d'exposition du corps humain à ces champs. Parmi les sources de champs figurent des dispositifs qui fonctionnent aux fréquences industrielles et qui produisent des champs à ces fréquences et aux fréquences harmoniques, ainsi que des dispositifs qui produisent des champs dans la plage de fréquence de ce document, incluant les dispositifs qui produisent des champs statiques, et le champ magnétique statique terrestre. Les plages d'amplitudes couvertes par la présente norme vont respectivement de 0,1 μT à 200 mT en alternatif (1 μT à 10 T en continu) et de 1 V/m à 50 kV/m pour les champs magnétiques et les champs électriques. Lorsque des mesures sont effectuées en dehors de cette plage, la plupart des dispositions de la présente norme restent applicables, mais il convient de prêter une attention toute particulière à l'incertitude et à la procédure d'étalonnage spécifiées. Les premières éditions de la IEC 61786-1 et la IEC 61786-2 remplacent la CEI 61786:1998. La Partie 1 concerne les instruments de mesure, et la Partie 2 concerne les procédures de mesure. Le contenu de la norme a été révisé afin de donner à l'utilisateur des informations à jour et pratiques.
Meritve enosmernih magnetnih polj, izmeničnih magnetnih in električnih polj v območju od 1 Hz do 100 kHz z vidika izpostavljenosti ljudi - Zahteve za instrumente (IEC 61786-1:2013)
Standard EN IEC 61786-1 podaja smernice za merilne inštrumente za merjenje jakosti polja pri navidezno statičnih magnetnih in električnih poljih, katerih frekvenčni delež je v razponu od 1 Hz do 100 kHz, in pri enosmernih magnetnih poljih, s čimer se ovrednoti ravni izpostavljenosti človeškega telesa tem poljem. Viri polj zajemajo tako naprave, ki delujejo na obratovalnih frekvencah ter proizvajajo obratovalne frekvence in harmonična polja obratovalnih frekvenc, kot tudi naprave, ki polja proizvajajo v frekvenčnem razponu tega dokumenta, vključno z napravami, ki proizvajajo statična polja, in zemeljskim statičnim magnetnim poljem. Razponi velikosti, ki jih zajema ta standard, so pri izmeničnih električnih poljih od 0,1 μT do 200 mT (1 μT do 10 T pri enosmernih) in 1 V/m do 50 kV/m pri magnetnih poljih. Če je meritev zunaj tega razpona, se večina določil iz tega standarda še vedno uporablja, vendar je treba posebno pozornost posvetiti določenim postopkom negotovosti in kalibriranja. Ta standard namreč – določa terminologijo, – določa zahteve za specifikacije za merilnike polja, – določa metode kalibriranja, – določa zahteve za negotovost instrumentov, – opisuje splošne značilnosti polj, – opisuje načela delovanja instrumentov. Določa tudi vire negotovosti med kalibriranjem. Ta standard z vidika merjenja električnega polja upošteva le merjenje nespremenjene jakosti električnega polja v točki na prostem (tj. električno polje pred uvedbo merilnika in meritelja) ali nad prevodno površino. Ta horizontalni standard je namenjen predvsem tehničnim odborom za pripravo standardov v skladu z načeli vodila IEC Guide 108. Ena od pristojnosti tehničnih odborov je, da med pripravo publikacij uporabljajo horizontalne standarde, kadar je to primerno. Vsebina tega horizontalnega standarda se ne uporablja, razen če je izrecno navedena ali zajeta v ustreznih publikacijah

WITH REGARD TO EXPOSURE OF HUMAN BEINGS –
Part 1: Requirements for measuring instruments
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61786-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 106:
Methods for the assessment of electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields associated with
human exposure.
The first editions of IEC 61786-1 and IEC 61786-2 replace IEC 61786:1998. Part 1 deals with
measuring instruments, and Part 2 deals with measurement procedures. The content of the
standard was revised in order to give up-to-date and practical information to the user.
It has the status of a horizontal standard in accordance with IEC Guide 108.

MEASUREMENT OF DC MAGNETIC,
AC MAGNETIC AND AC ELECTRIC FIELDS FROM 1 Hz TO 100 kHz
WITH REGARD TO EXPOSURE OF HUMAN BEINGS –
Part 1: Requirements for measuring instruments
1 Scope
This part of IEC 61786 provides guidance for measuring instruments used to measure the
field strength of quasi-static magnetic and electric fields that have a frequency content in the
range 1 Hz to 100 kHz and with DC magnetic fields to evaluate the exposure levels of the
human body to these fields.
Sources of fields include devices that operate at power frequencies and produce power
frequency and power frequency harmonic fields, as well as devices that produce fields within
the frequency range of this document, including devices that produce static fields, and the
earth’s static magnetic field. The magnitude ranges covered by this standard are 0,1 μT to
200 mT in AC (1 μT to 10 T in DC) and 1 V/m to 50 kV/m for magnetic fields and electric
fields, respectively.
When measurements outside this range are performed, most of the provisions of this standard
will still apply, but special attention should be paid to specified uncertainty and calibration
procedures.
Specifically, this standard
– defines terminology;
– identifies requirements on field meter specifications;
– indicates methods of calibration;
– defines requirements on instrumentation uncertainty;
– describes general characteristics of fields;
– describes operational principles of instrumentation.
NOTE Measurement methods that achieve defined goals pertaining to assessment of human exposure are
described in IEC 61786-2
Sources of uncertainty during calibration are also identified. In regard to electric field
measurements, this standard considers only the measurement of the unperturbed electric field
strength at a point in free space (i.e. the electric field prior to the introduction of the field
meter and operator) or above conducting surfaces.
This horizontal standard is primarily intended for use by technical committees in the
preparation of standards in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 108.
One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is, wherever applicable, to make use of
horizontal standards in the preparation of its publications. The contents of this horizontal
standard will not apply unless specifically referred to or included in the relevant publications.
