Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 21, November 4, 2024

Section 7:28-42.4 - Radio Frequency Protection Guides (RFPG) for whole body exposure

	Maximum Allowed	Maximum Allowed	Equivalent
	Mean Squared	Mean Squared	Plane Wave
Frequency	Electric Field	Magnetic Field	Power Density
Range	Strength (V/m)<2>	Strength (A/m)<2>	(mW/cm<2>)
300 kHz-3 MHz	400,000	2.5	100
3 MHz-30 MHz	4,000 (900/f<2>)	0.025 (900/f<2>)	900/f<2>
30 MHz-300 MHz	4,000	0.025	1.0
300 MHz-1.5 GHz	4,000 (f/300)	0.025 (f/300)	f/300
1.5 GHz-100 GHz	20,000	0.125	5.0

Note 1. f--frequency (MHz)

Note 2. For near field exposure, both the mean squared electric and magnetic field strengths shall be determined.

Note 3. For frequencies below 300 MHz, both the mean squared electric and magnetic field strengths shall be determined.

Note 4. At frequencies above 300 MHz, either the mean squared electric or magnetic field strengths shall be determined.

Note 5. The applicable RFPG shall be averaged over any 0.1 hour interval.

Note 6. Measurement to determine adherence to the RFPG shall be made at distances 5 cm or greater from any object.

Note 7. Where electromagnetic fields are present at more than one frequency or for broadband fields, the fraction of the RFPG incurred within each frequency interval shall be determined and the sum of all such fractions shall not exceed unity.
