TC 106

To prepare international standards on measurement and calculation methods to assess human exposure to electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields.

The task includes: characterisation of the electromagnetic environments with regard to human exposure; – measurement methods, instrumentation and procedures; – calculation methods; – assessment methods for the exposure produced by specific sources (in so far as this task is not carried out by specific product committees); – basic standards for other sources; – assessment of uncertainties. It covers the whole frequency range from 0 Hz to 300 GHz. It applies to basic restrictions and reference levels.

Excluded are: – the establishment of exposure limits (see AC/38/2009 of 2009-11-27); – mitigation methods which have to be dealt with by the relevant product committees; – electrical safety (however, the issue of contact current related to the indirect effect of human exposure to electromagnetic fields is included).
