Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Energy Safety Compliance
Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Energy Safety Compliance
Electromagnetic energy is all around us in the form of radio waves and electric power fields.
Government standards and regulations place limits on public and worker exposure to EME to protect against potential health effects. Community groups are increasingly raising concerns about exposure to radio frequency and extremely low frequency EME from emitters such as:
- Mobile phone base stations
- Rooftop antennas, TV towers and power lines
There is growing awareness in the workplace of radio and electric power emitters such as:
- Walkie talkies
- Wireless networks
- Car mounted antennas
- Electrical substations in buildings
EME Standards Compliance
The federal government expert body on radiation safety (ARPANSA) has drafted radiation protection standards. These standards detail exposure to radiofrequency (RF) EME and extremely low frequency ELF EME as emitted by power lines.
The requirements for RF EME safety compliance are set out in complex national and international safety standards, regulations and guidelines.
These standards can be enforced by government bodies such as:
- Health departments
- WorkSafe authorities
- Environmental protection agencies
- ACMA
Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) compliance
As part of our ongoing EME development, we are currently building our capabilities in the extremely low frequency (ELF) market. This will soon have new compliance requirements in Australia and New Zealand.
Government requirements for EME reports
Electromagnetic energy (EME) reports can only be assessed by qualified technical specialists.
Kordia™ has set up an EME business unit which is certified by the National Association of Testing Authority (NATA) for the generation of modelling reports in accordance with AS/NZS ISO/IEC 17020 (2000) 9.11 electromagnetic fields.
