What is new on ITU-T Activities on EMF?

Approved Recommendations and agreed Supplements
The following revised Recommendations on EMF were recently approved: ITU-T K.70 - Mitigation techniques to limit human exposure to EMFs in the vicinity of radiocommunication stations What is new? This new version includes example of parameters of the typical radiocommunication systems including 5G. ITU-T K.91 - Guidance for assessment, evaluation and monitoring of human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields What is new? This new version includes information concerning 5G mobile systems and new WHO, ICNIRP and IEEE guidelines. ITU-T K.145 - Assessment and management of compliance with radio frequency electromagnetic field exposure limits for workers at radiocommunication sites and facilities What is new? This new version includes information on conditions of the warning alarms and a new appendix of an RF exposimeter (RF personal monitor) during telecommunication tower maintenance. The revision of ITU-T K.Suppl.1 to ITU-T K.91 on Guide on electromagnetic fields and health is now available. This Supplement is a great tool to answer questions commonly posed by the public on the electromagnetic field (EMF) phenomenon and to address related concerns. This new version of the Supplement includes information concerning 5G mobile systems and new WHO, ICNIRP and IEEE guidelines.
Ongoing standardization work
We want to hear from you! ITU-T SG5 is currently working on the development of a Technical Report on “Case studies of RF-EMF assessments". This Technical Report will present the results of case studies of RF-EMF exposure levels taken in different conditions and areas. CONTRIBUTE NOW: Share with us what your country is doing to assess RF-EMF. Feel free to send us your case study for the next ITU-T SG5 meeting (20 June - 1 July 2022 (TBC)).
