  • Title: [Measurements of electromagnetic fields and evaluation of occupational exposure: PN-T-06580:2002 requirements and principles adopted in the European Union].

    Abstract:
    Under the process of developing a uniform system of protection against excessive exposure to electromagnetic fields, Polish metrological standards have been amended as an inherent complement of the modified decree on maximum admissible strength (MAS) values, issued by the Minister of Labour and Social Policy. Two parts of standard PN-T-06580:2002 were established by the Chairman of the Polish Committee for Standardisation in 2002. Of the whole range of frequencies covered by legal regulations, it laid down the principles of evaluation of occupational exposure to electromagnetic fields and radiation, providing precise definitions and rules for estimation actual dose and exposure factor in each case of exposure in real conditions. The standards also precise conditions, in which simplified principles of occupational exposure measurement and evaluation can be applied. Currently in the European countries, there are no general standards concerning methods of measuring and evaluating occupational exposure to 0-300 GHz electromagnetic fields. The provisions of numerous European (EN) and international (IEC) standards of a much narrower scope of application are similar to those formulated in standard PN-T-06580:2002.
