ASSESSMENT OF ELECTRONIC AND ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
RELATED TO HUMAN EXPOSURE RESTRICTIONS
FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS (0 Hz to 300 GHz)
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 62311 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 106: Methods
for the assessment of electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields associated with human
exposure.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2007. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) a clear distinction between intentional and unintentional radiators has been introduced;
b) the exposure to non-uniform fields is considered;
c) the treatment of uncertainty for the assessment procedures has been improved;
d) various summation regimes are described in Annex A;
e) the information from meanwhile published basic standards has been used and hence all
informative annexes of the previous edition have been removed.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:

average period for transmissions.
Note 2 to entry: A duty factor of 1,0 corresponds to continuous operation.
3.1.6
effective radiated power
ERP
product of the power supplied by a radio transmitter to an antenna and the gain of this antenna
relative to a half-wave dipole in a given direction
[SOURCE: IEC 60050-713:1998, 713-09-26]
3.1.7
electric field strength
E
vector field quantity E which exerts on any charged particle at rest a force F equal to the product
of E and the electric charge Q of the particle
[SOURCE: IEC 60050-121:1998, 121-11-18]

limb current or a contact current.
3.1.10
far-field region
region of the field of an antenna where the radial field distribution is essentially dependent
inversely on the distance from the antenna
Note 1 to entry: In the far-field region the field has a predominantly plane-wave character, i.e. locally uniform
distribution of electric field and magnetic field in planes transverse to the direction of propagation. The vectors of the
electric field and the magnetic field are perpendicular to each other and the quotient between the value of the electric
field strength E and the magnetic field strength H is constant and equals the impedance of free space Z .

3.1.13
inherently compliant
considered to comply with a set of requirements without the need of applying an assessment
method (such as measurements or calculations)
Note 1 to entry: A set of requirements can for example be a set of exposure limits for the general public.
Note 2 to entry: Equipment that is inherently compliant with respect to a certain set of requirements (for example
exposure limits for workers) is not necessarily inherently compliant with a different set of requirements (for example
exposure limits for the general public).

3.1.18
near-field region
region generally in proximity to an antenna or other radiating structure, in which the electric and
magnetic fields do not have a substantially plane-wave character, but vary considerably from
point to point
Note 1 to entry: The near-field region is further subdivided into the reactive near-field region, which is closest to
the radiating structure and that contains most or nearly all of the stored energy, and the radiating near-field region
where the radiation field predominates over the reactive field, but lacks substantial plane-wave character and is
complex in structure.
3.1.19
partial-body exposure
localized exposure of part of the body, producing a corresponding localized SAR, power density
or induced current density, as distinct from a whole-body exposure
3.1.20
plane-wave equivalent power density
power density equal in magnitude to the power density of a plane wave
having the same electric (E) or magnetic (H) field strength as the measured field
3.1.21
power density
S
power per unit area normal to the direction of
electromagnetic wave propagation
Note 1 to entry: For plane waves the power density (S), electric field strength (E) and magnetic field strength (H)
are related by the space impedance (Z ), in the case of plane wave or free space, i.e. 377 Ω:
0
2
E
2
S Z H EH
0
Z
0
2
E and H are expressed in units of V/m and A/m, respectively, and S in the unit of W/m . The value of 377 Ω is only
valid for free space, far field measurement conditions.
Note 2 to entry: Although many survey instruments indicate power density units, the actual quantities measured are
E or H or the square of those quantities.
3.1.22
reference level
level of field strength or power density derived from the basic restrictions using conservative
assumptions about exposure
Note 1 to entry: If the reference levels are met, then the basic restrictions will be complied with, but if the reference
levels are exceeded, that does not necessarily mean that the basic restrictions will not be met.
