GUIDELINES FOR LIMITING EXPOSURE TO TIME-VARYING ELECTRIC, MAGNETIC AND ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS - PART 1: FOR FREQUENCY UP TO 3 kHz
This Malaysian Standard specifies the limits of EMF exposure of frequency up to 3 kHz and verification for complying with the limits that will provide protection against known direct and indirect adverse health effects. The limits specified in this standard are intended to be used as a basis for planning work procedures, designing protective facilities, the assessment of the efficacy of protective measures and practices, and guidance on health surveillance.
The standard does not apply to the following situations:
a) exposure of the fields generated by static (0 Hz) sources;
b) deliberate exposure of patients undergoing medical treatment or diagnosis using electromagnetic fields;
c) exposure of the electromagnetic fields which may have resulted in other potential hazard, such as, ignition of explosives or flammable gases, malfunctioning of certain kind of cardiac pacemakers or interference with certain electronic equipment; and
d) electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
