5、ssociation approved the initiation of the Radiation Hazards Standardsproject under the co-sponsorship of the Department of the Navy and the Institute of Electrical and Electron-ics Engineers.Prior to 1988, C95 standards were developed by an Accredited Standards Committee and submitted to ANSIfor app
6、roval and issuance as ANSI C95 standards. Between 1988 and 1990, the committee was converted toStandards Coordinating Committee 28 (SCC28) under the sponsorship of the IEEE Standards Board. Inaccordance with policies of the IEEE, C95 standards will be issued and developed as IEEE standards, aswell a
7、s being submitted to ANSI for recognition.The present scope of IEEE SCC28 is:“Development of standards for the safe use of electromagnetic energy in the range of 0 Hz to 300 GHz rela-tive to the potential hazards of exposure of man, volatile materials, and explosive devices to such energy. Itis not
8、intended to include infrared, visible, ultraviolet, or ionizing radiation. The committee will coordinatewith other committees whose scopes are contiguous with SCC28.”The IEEE SCC28 is responsible for this standard. There are five subcommittees concerned withI Techniques, Procedures, and Instrumentat

Overview1.1 ScopeThis standard defines the design of symbols denoting the incidence of radio-frequency (RF) electromagneticenergy in the frequency range from 3 kHz to 300
28、 GHz. The standard also defines the use of these symbols insigns and labels intended to warn workers or the public of the presence of potentially hazardous levels of RFenergy and other hazards that may arise from RF energy, such as RF induced currents, shocks, or burns.Guidance on the application an
29、d placement of these signs in operational settings is not within the scope ofthis document.1.2 GeneralThe purpose of this revision is to be consistent with the ANSI Z535 series1 of standards addressing thedesign and use of environmental warning signs and labels, and IEEE Std C95.1, 1999 Edition. Thi
30、s standardaddresses environmental and facility safety signs, and product safety signs and labels where the symbolsspecified in this standard may be used. Accident prevention tags are not addressed here because accidentprevention tags used for protection against RF energy have no unique features. (Se
31、e ANSI Z535.5-1998 forguidance concerning accident prevention tags.) This standard provides a single reference source for thedesign of signs and labels for RF hazards.2.
