    Definition
  • Recommendations to protect against harmful effects in human beings exposed to electromagnetic fields in the frequency range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz are provided in this standard. These recommendations are intended to apply in controlled environments and for general population exposure. These(...)
  • This amendment to IEEE Std C95.1-2005 specifies ceiling values for induced and contact current requirements, clarifies distinctions between “localized exposure” and “peak power density.
  • Symbols to inform people about the presence of potentially hazardous levels of radiofrequency energy or the presence of contact current hazards in the frequency range of 3 kHz to 300 GHz are specified. Guidance is given about how these symbols should be used on warning signs and labels.
  • Techniques and instrumentation for the measurement and computation of electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic (EM) fields in the near field of an EM field source are presented in this recommended practice. Descriptions of the concepts, techniques, and instruments that can be applied to the(...)
  • Techniques and instrumentation for the measurement and computation of potentially hazardous electromagnetic (EM) fields both in the near field and the far field of the electromagnetic source are specified. The specifications previously set forth in IEEE Std C95.3-1991 are extended and(...)
  • This project provides recommended practices for the prediction and practical determination of safe distances from radio and radar transmitting antennas when using electric blasting caps to remotely detonate an explosive charge. Specifically, this document includes mathematical formulas,(...)
  • Recommendations are given to prevent harmful effects in human beings exposed to electromagnetic fields in the frequency range of 0-3 kHz. The recommendations are intended to apply to exposures of the general public, as well as to individuals in controlled environments. They are not intended to(...)
  • Elements of a radio frequency (RF) exposure safety program that can prevent or control potential risks associated with exposure to the electromagnetic fields from RF sources that operate in the frequency range of 3 kHz to 300 GHz are described in this recommended practice. The means for(...)
  • A measure of the ability of electronic products to tolerate the influence of electrical energy (radiated or conducted) from other electronic products and electromagnetic phenomena.
  • Ratio of the voltage phasor to the electric current phasor, a measure of the opposition to time-varying electric current in an electric circuit.
  • iNARTE Certification is a highly-desirable accreditation for the well-rounded compliance engineer. This monthly column is written by iNARTE Director, Brian Lawrence covering iNARTE news and events.
  • the ability to store energy in a magnetic field
  • A professional association that is dedicated to advancing technological innovation and excellence.
  • A professional association that is dedicated to advancing technological innovation and excellence.
  • Anything which alters, modifies, or disrupts a message as it travels along a channel.
  • A non-profit, non-governmental international standards organization that prepares and publishes International Standards for all electrical, electronic and related technologies – collectively known as "electrotechnology". IEC standards cover a vast range of technologies from power generation,(...)

IEC standards cover a vast range of technologies from power generation,(...)
  • Third-order intercept. measure for weakly nonlinear systems and devices, for example receivers, linear amplifiers and mixers. The third-order intercept point relates nonlinear products caused by the third-order nonlinear term to the linearly amplified signal, in contrast to the second-order(...)
  • Specifies requirements and test methods for electromagnetic emissions and for electromagnetic immunity of electrically powered wheelchairs and scooters with a maximum speed of not more than 15 km/h intended for indoor and/or outdoor use by people with disabilities. It is also applicable to(...)
  • Defines the basic terms relating to electrical disturbances from conduction and coupling used in its other parts, and gives general information on the whole of ISO 7637 and common to all parts.
