IEEE C95.6-2002 pdf download IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Electromagnetic Fields, 0–3 kHz
1.1 Scope
This standard defines exposure levels to protect against adverse effects in humans from exposure to electricand magnetic fields at frequencies from 0-3 kHz. This standard was developed with respect to establishedmechanisms of biological effects in humans from electric and magnetic field exposures. lt does not apply toexposures encountered during medical procedures. The defined exposure limits do not necessarily protectagainst interference of medical devices or problems involving metallic implants (see 6.12).
Established human mechanisms fall within the category of short-term effects. Such effects are understood interms of recognized interaction mechanisms. Exposure limits defined in this standard are not based on thepotential effects of long-term exposure because:
There is not sufficient, reliable evidence to conclude that long-term exposures to electric and magnetic fields at levels found in communities or occupational environments are adverse to humanhealth or cause a disease, including cancer.
There is no confirmed mechanism that would provide a firm basis to predict adverse effects fromlow-level, long-term exposure.
The Subcommittee is aware of reported epidemiological associations between long-term exposure tomagnetic fields and disease, including childhood leukemia in residential environments and chronicymphocytic leukemia in occupational environments. The interpretation of these associations is unclearespecially since exposure to magnetic fields does not appear to initiate or advance the development ofeukemia or other forms of cancers and other diseases in animals exposed over much of their lifetime. This is consistent with the findings of interdisciplinary panels of scientists that have evaluated the literature on longterm exposures for scientific and governmental organizations. The most recent of these major reviewsinclude the Advisory Group on Non-lonizing Radiation of the UK National Radiological Prolection Board(AGNIR (B3]’), the Health Council of the Netherlands (Netherlands (B63]), the U.S. National Institute ofEnvironmental Health Sciences (NIEHS (B64]; Olden B68]), the Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEEB45)), the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC B42]), the International Commission onNon-lonizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP)JB431, and the U. S.National Research Council (NRC B65))
Because none of the above reviews concluded that any hazard from long-term exposure has been confirmedthis standard does not propose limits on exposures that are lowerprotect againstadverse short-term effects. The Subcommittee will continue to evaluate new research and wil revise thisstandard should the resolution of present uncertainties in the research literature identify a need to limit longerm exposures to values lower than the limits of this standard, The Subcommittee will also continue toevaluate new research on short-term effects and modeling. As stated below, this standard makes reasonableassumptions based upon available data. As new data becomes available, the committee will revisit theseassumptions for future revisions.
1.2 Purπ圣禁被肮榜谤彼丙郸世非痣在链匆迭忱搓蹦睛
The IEEE has previously defined safety standards for human exposure to electromagnetic fields in thefrequency regime from 3 kHz-300 GHz (IEEE (B46)). The purpose of this standard is to define exposurestandards for the frequency regime 0-3 kHz. For pulsed or nonsinusoidal fields, it may be necessary toevaluate an acceptance criterion at frequencies outside this frequency regime as explained in 5.2.4.2.
