Standard Details

Recommendations to protect against harmful effects in human beings exposed to electromagnetic fields in the frequency range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz are provided in this standard. These recommendations are intended to apply in controlled environments and for general population exposure. These recommendations are not intended to apply to the exposure of patients by or under the direction of physicians and medical professionals. (The PDF of this standards is available at no cost.

Active Projects	Active PC95.1 - IEEE Draft Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Electric, Magnetic and Electromagnetic Fields, 0 Hz to 300 GHz The interactions of electromagnetic fields with biological systems are by their very nature extraordinarily variable. The standard addresses this variability in the research database and presents as seamlessly as possible exposure limits to protect human beings against established adverse health effects from exposures to to electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields in the frequency range 0 Hz - 300 GHz. These exposure limits are intended to apply to persons permitted in restricted environments and to the general public in unrestricted environments. These exposure limits are not intended to apply to the exposure of patients by or under the direction of physicians and medical professionals, as well as exposure of informed volunteers in medical or scientific research studies and might not be protective with respect to the use of medical devices or implants.
Existing Standards	Superseded C95.1b-2004 - IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz - Amendment 2: Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Limits for the Pinna Superseded by IEEE Std C95.1-2005 This Amendment will clarify the standard by specifically defining additional portions of the human body, e.g., the outer ear (pinna), as extremities subject to similar specific absorption rate (SAR) limits as extremities already defined, e.g., hands, feet, wrist and ankles
	Active C95.1a-2010 - IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz Amendment 1: Specifies Ceiling Limits for Induced and Contact Current, Clarifies Distinctions between Localized Exposure and Spatial Peak Power Density This amendment to IEEE Std C95.1-2005 specifies ceiling values for induced and contact current requirements, clarifies distinctions between ?localized exposure? and ?peak power density.
