EMF Electromagnetic Field Testing Service

Due to the harmfUL effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF) on the human body, such as dizziness, vomiting, childhood leukemia, adult malignant brain tumors, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, infertility, and cancer, which seriously threaten human health, it is essential to establish a method for evaluating the electromagnetic fields around lighting devices. This is done to protect the central nervous system tissues in the human head and torso and REDuce the impact on human health. The IEC/EN62493 standard provides a reasonable approach to evaluate electromagnetic fields around lighting devices.

Scope of IEC/EN62493 Application

This standard is applied to the assessment of human exposure to electromagnetic fields related to lighting equipment. The assessment includes the induced current density between 20 kHz to 10 MHz and the specific absorption rate (SAR) between 100 kHz to 300 MHz around the lighting equipment.

Applicable Product Range

This standard applies to all indoor and outdoor lighting devices used for lighting purposes, which have the basic function of producing and distributing light and are intended to be connected to a low-voltage power supply network or powered by batteries. General lighting equipment refers to all industrial, residential, public, and street lighting devices; the lighting portion of multifunctional devices, where lighting is one of the main functions.
