EMF Directive – Workplace Health and Safety in Electromagnetic Fields
Pfullingen,
August 3, 2016 – Since 1st July 2016, all EU member states are required to have implemented Directive
2013/35/EU for the protection of persons from electromagnetic fields (EMF) in the workplace in national
laws. As a result, companies throughout Europe must now ensure that employees are not exposed to fields
greater than the exposure limits, some of which have been newly defined. This requires monitoring and
minimizing risk through preventive measures where necessary. Narda Safety Test Solutions develops and
produces powerful, intelligent measuring equipment for the demanding measurement tasks needed for this.
These precision instruments from the specialist for EMF measurement make it possible for those responsible
to record all the field values relevant to a safety assessment complying with the directive in real
time without too much effort. The high quality range comprises wideband and selective measuring devices
as well as robust radiation protection monitors that form part of a set of personal protection equipment
(PPE). For example, the devices automatically detect the least favorable exposure levels from the biophysical
viewpoint in difficult mixed EMF situations in multi-frequency environments. They can then display the
result directly as a percentage of the applicable permitted limit value, making interpretation quick
and sure.
