Scope

This document provides electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure conformity assessment methods for low power electronic and electrical equipment. It is applicable to intentionally radiating equipment operating at frequencies between 10 MHz and 300 GHz with time-averaged transmitted power less than or equal to 20 mW in case of equipment intended for use by the general public, or less than or equal to 100 mW in case of equipment intended for use only by workers when at work, respectively. In the context of this document, time-averaging is over any 6-min period up to 10 GHz and over any 68/ƒ1.05 -minute period (ƒ in GHz) for frequencies exceeding 10 GHz.

It also applies to non-intentionally radiating equipment in the same frequency range.
