Immission control measurements
In order to protect people who find themselves in the vicinity of high- or low-frequency equipment with high electrical power, fixed limit values for electrical and magnetic field strength must not be exceeded.
Immission control measurement is therefore obligatory for low- and high-frequency equipment used for commercial purposes, and is also a component of the duty of care, for example within the framework of occupational health and safety. The measurements offer an objective basis for environmental and risk analysis in residential and industrial areas and also in hospitals. TÜV NORD CERT can perform these measurements on site – in buildings and outside – and then drafts the corresponding reports.
Reliable measurement data for specified limit values
The measurements, which draw on our long years of experience in the area of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and where we use the comprehensive, modern equipment of our accredited EMC laboratory, are based on the following regulations:
- 26th Federal Immission Control Act Ordinance regarding Electromagnetic Fields (26. Bundes-Immissionsschutzgesetz, Verordnung über elektromagnetische Felder - BImSchV)
- BEMF /2002 Ordinance regarding proof procedures for limitation of electromagnetic fields
- Trade association regulations for occupational safety and health (BGV B11)
- EU Directive 2004/40/EC on minimum health and safety requirements regarding the exposure of workers to the risks arising from physical agents (electromagnetic fields)
- DIN standard VDE 0848: Protection of persons in the frequency range from 30 kHz to 300 GHz / Safety in electrical, magnetic and electromagnetic fields / Protection of persons using active medical devices (e.g. pacemakers) in the frequency range 0 Hz to 300 GHz
Measurements for components in the radio, medical and energy transmission sectors
The measurements are directed towards manufacturers, operators and users of electromagnetically-active plant and equipment – for example research institutions, transformer stations, industrial induction heaters, MRI diagnosis in hospitals, radio and radar equipment and mobile telephony base stations, i.e. transmitting stations of significant power.
