Product standard to demonstrate the compliance of wireless communication devices with the basic restrictions and exposure limit values related to human exposure to electromagnetic fields in the frequency range from 30 MHz to 6 GHz: hand-held and body mounted devices in close proximity to the human body; German version EN 50566:2017 + A1:2023
Produktnorm zum Nachweis der Übereinstimmung von schnurlosen Kommunikationsgeräten mit den Basisgrenzwerten und Expositionsgrenzwerten für die Exposition von Personen gegenüber elektromagnetischen Feldern im Frequenzbereich von 30 MHz bis 6 GHz: In enger Nachbarschaft zum menschlichen Körper handgehaltene und am Körper getragene Geräte; Deutsche Fassung EN 50566:2017 + A1:2023
Overview
This product standard applies to wireless communication devices used at distances up to and including 200 mm from the human body, namely, when held in the hand or in front of the face, mounted on the body, combined with other transmitting or non-transmitting devices or accessories (for example, belt-clip, camera or Bluetooth add-on), or integrated into garments. The applicable frequency range is from 30 MHz to 6 GHz. The standard differs from DIN EN 50566 (VDE 0848-566):2019-04 as follows: a) inclusion of the new normative document EN IEC 62209-3:2019 and the associated procedures. The objective of this standard is to demonstrate the compliance of such devices with the basic restrictions and exposure limit values related to human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields.
