There are many possible methods of exposure assessment and each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages. This Recommendation gives guidance on how to assess and monitor human exposure to RF electromagnetic fields (EMF) in the areas with surrounding radiocommunication installations based on existing exposure and compliance standards in the frequency range of 9 kHz to 300 GHz. This includes procedures of evaluating exposure and how to show compliance with exposure limits with reference to existing standards. This Recommendation is oriented to the examination of the area accessible to people in the real environment of currently operated services with many different sources of RF EMF, but also gives references to standards and recommendations related to EMF compliance of products.
