19、es operating within the frequency range 0 Hz to 300 GHz, used in electronic article surveillance (EAS), radio frequency identification (RFID) and similar applications. This product standard may be used for demonstration of compliance to the requirements of the RTTE Directive 1999/5/EC, with regard t
20、o the limitation of human exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs). There are additional requirements covered by the Directive, which are not included in this product standard. This product standard may be used for demonstration of compliance to the requirements of the Low Voltage Directive 2006/95
21、/EC, with regard to the limitation of human exposure to EMFs. There are additional requirements covered by the Directive, which are not included in this product standard. It should be noted that the supplier of a specific piece of equipment might not know the overall exposure environment in which th
22、e equipment is being used. This product standard can only assess the human exposure from the specific equipment under evaluation when being used according to the suppliers guidelines. Other standards can apply to products covered by this document. In particular this document is not designed to evalu
23、ate the electromagnetic compatibility with other equipment; nor does it reflect any product safety requirements other than those specifically related to human exposure to electromagnetic fields. 2 References 2.1 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the applic

29、ic and electromagnetic fields that are based directly on established health effects and biological considerations 3.2 reference levels derived reference levels levels provided for practical exposure assessment purposes. They are derived from basic restrictions. Respect of the reference level will en
30、sure respect of the relevant basic restriction. If the reference level is exceeded, it does not necessarily follow that the basic restriction will be exceeded 3.3 EMF electric, magnetic or electromagnetic field 3.4 EAS electronic article surveillance 3.5 induced current density electromagnetic field

32、 defined in part of the frequency range specified in the scope. For a detailed definition see EN 62369-1. 4 Exposure conditions and limits In all cases, the equipment documentation shall clearly state the intended use condition. The limits shall be the values of basic restrictions and reference leve
33、ls from the EC Recommendation. It should be noted that the tables of values referred to in the following sections are explained and rationalised in the text of the EC Recommendation and the associated notes adjoining the tables. The EC Recommendation bases its values on the work provided in the ICNI
34、RP Guidelines, which may be consulted for background information on the derivation of the values concerned. This applies to equipment used by, or in proximity to, the general public. BS EN 50364:2010EN 50364:2010 6 Equipment which meets the requirements for general public exposure as given in this d
35、ocument may be used in an occupational environment. If the equipment could be used under occupational conditions, but in an area where the general public may be exposed, then the exposure shall be assessed against the general public requirements under the conditions expected for that exposure situat
36、ion. However the general public is not expected to occupy areas intended exclusively for workers In cases where occupational exposure is greater than the exposure for the general public the occupational exposure level shall also be assessed but not compared against the values in the EC Recommendatio
37、n for conformity assessment purposes. In such cases information on installation and use shall be provided in the user documentation sufficient to maintain the exposure of the general public below the values provided in the EC Recommendation. Information on the occupational exposure levels shall be a
38、vailable for employers making risk assessments and the source of the information shall be identified in the user documentation. Some equipment may be used only in an occupational environment (general public access is prohibited or regulated in such a way as to be similar to occupational use). In suc
39、h cases, where occupational exposure is greater than the levels allowed for general public exposure, the equipment must be defined for occupational use. This standard can only then be used for the purpose of presumption of conformity with applicable Directives when there is an identified distance in
40、 the product documentation for general public exposure and evaluation is made for compliance at that distance. Information on the occupational exposure levels should be made available for employers making risk assessments and the information, or source of the information, shall also be identified in
41、 the user documentation. 5 Evaluation of compliance 5.1 General The EC Recommendation shall be consulted to determine whether an exposure assessment is required for the general public. Certain types of equipment and applications may be excluded or given special consideration. It must be noted that s
42、uch consideration may not be on a harmonised basis. The measurements and calculations to demonstrate equipment compliance shall be made according to EN 62369-1, Clause 4. The general conditions as defined in that clause shall apply to all equipment. 5.2 Evaluation of emitted EMF 5.2.1 Assessment met
43、hods If an exposure assessment is necessary the emitted EMF shall be evaluated using one of the following methods. It is not necessary to demonstrate compliance using more than one method. The exposure distances shall be as described in EN 62369-1, Table 1 and Figures 3 to 11, measured from the edge
44、 or face of the equipment nearest to the relevant position of exposure. For equipment which is similar but does not match the categories provided, then other positioning may be used provided it uses the same principles as the positioning provided in EN 62369-1. Any variations in positioning shall be
45、 documented. 5.2.2 Assessment to show compliance with derived reference levels Measurements shall be made according to EN 62369-1, using one of the methods from EN 62369-1, 4.2, as appropriate. The method used, the assessment set-up and the results shall be documented. The results shall be compared
46、with the EC Recommendation, Annex III Reference levels, using values provided in Table 2 of that document, and any applicable notes to the table. BS EN 50364:2010 7 EN 50364:2010 5.2.3 Assessment to show compliance with basic restrictions Assessment shall be made according to EN 62369-1, using one o
47、f the methods from EN 62369-1, 4.3, 4.4 or 4.5 as appropriate. The method used, the assessment set-up and the results shall be documented. Where numerical modelling is used, the details of the body model, the source model construction and any validations shall also be documented. EN 62369-1, Annex B
48、 (informative), provides additional information for numerical modelling: for frequencies up to 10 MHz, the results used for induced current density comparison shall be those derived for Central Nervous System (CNS) tissue in the head and/or trunk of the body (brain and/or spinal cord tissue) as appr
49、opriate to the type of exposure; for frequencies above 100 kHz, the results used for SAR or power density comparison shall be the whole body average, and the localised average taken over 10 g of contiguous tissue; for frequencies between 100 kHz and 10 MHz, results for both induced current density in CNS tissue and SAR (or power density) shall be evaluated, as described in the bullet points above. The results shall be compared with the EC Recommendation, Annex II Basic restrictions, using values provided in
