24、D TO HUMAN EXPOSURE TO ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS (10 MHz to 300 GHz) 1 Scope This International Standard provides simple conformity assessment methods for low-power electronic and electrical equipment to an exposure limit relevant to electromagnetic fields (EMF). If such equipment cannot be shown to co
25、mply with the applicable EMF exposure requirements using the methods included in this standard for EMF assessment, then other standards, including IEC 62311 or other (EMF) product standards, may be used for conformity assessment. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispen

28、theoretically delivered by a source having an impedance of positive real part to a directly connected load when the impedance of the load is widely varied NOTE 1 The available antenna power is obtained when the resistance of the load is equal to that of the source and its reactance is equal in magni
29、tude but of opposite sign. However, other scenarios are possible e.g. if the PA monitors the current rather than the actual power, a changing antenna impedance (when DUT is operated close to the body) might actually cause a higher output power than the matched load. Then, a push-pull analysis with v
30、aried realistic loads (according to antenna impedance in the vicinity of the body) should be performed. NOTE 2 In some cases, conditions such as overheating or overvoltage prevent the available antenna power from being obtained. NOTE 3 Time average shall be taken during continuous or maximum duty cy
31、cle transmission at maximum power to the extent possible for a given technology. NOTE 4 Adapted from IEC 60050-702:1992 111), 702-07-10.

BS EN 62479:2010EN 62479:2010 (E) 6 3.2 average total radiated power the time average of the total radiated power over a time interval equal to th
33、e averaging time. This time average is taken during continuous or maximum duty cycle transmission at maximum power to the extent possible for a given technology NOTE If the user is in the reactive near field of the antenna, the presence of the user may result in a change in the total radiated power
34、due to a change in the antenna impedance. In this case, the average total radiated power must be the maximum possible power in the presence of the user. 3.3 averaging time tavgthe appropriate time over which exposure is averaged for purposes of determining compliance with exposure limits 3.4 basic r
35、estriction restriction(s) on exposure to time-varying electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields that are based directly on established health effects NOTE 1 Depending upon the frequency of the field, the physical quantities used to specify these restrictions are current density, specific absorp
36、tion rate (SAR), and power density. 3.5 conformity assessment demonstration that specified requirements relating to a product, process, system, person or body are fulfilled NOTE The subject field of conformity assessment includes activities such as testing, inspection and certification, as well as t

46、the total radiated power is independent of antenna gain. 3.16 unintentional radiator non-intentional radiator electrical or electronic equipment that radiates radio frequency (RF) energy, even though the emission is not a deliberate or necessary part of its function EXAMPLE Examples of unintentional

BS EN 62479:2010EN 62479:2010 (E) 8 4 Conformity assessment methods 4.1 General considerations Compliance of electromagnetic emissions from electronic and electrical equipment with the
48、basic restrictions usually is determined by measurements and, in some cases, calculation of the exposure level. If the electrical power used by or radiated by the equipment is sufficiently low, the electromagnetic fields emitted will be incapable of producing exposures that exceed the basic restrict
49、ions. This standard provides simple EMF assessment procedures for this low power equipment. Any relevant compliance assessment procedure which is consistent with the state of the art, reproducible and gives valid results can be used. For transmitters intended for use with more than one antenna configuration option, the combination of transmitter and antenna(s) which generates the highest available antenna power and/or average total radiated power shall be assessed.
