EN 62209-2:2010/A1:2019

This part of IEC 62209 series is applicable to any wireless communication device capable oftransmitting electromagnetic fields (EMF) intended to be used at a position near the humanbody, in the manner described by the manufacturer, with the radiating part(s) of the device atdistances up to and including 200 mm from a human body, i.e. when held in the hand or infront of the face, mounted on the body, combined with other transmitting or non-transmittingdevices or accessories (e.g. belt-clip, camera or Bluetooth add-on), or embedded ingarments. For transmitters used in close proximity to the human ear, the procedures ofIEC 62209-1:2005 are applicable.This standard is applicable for radio frequency exposure in the frequency range of 30 MHz to6 GHz, and may be used to measure simultaneous exposures from multiple radio sourcesused in close proximity to human body. Definitions and evaluation procedures are provided forthe following general categories of device types: body-mounted, body-supported, desktop,front-of-face, hand-held, laptop, limb-mounted, multi-band, push-to-talk, clothing-integrated.The types of devices considered include but are not limited to mobile telephones, cordlessmicrophones, auxiliary broadcast devices and radio transmitters in personal computers.This International Standard gives guidelines for a reproducible and conservativemeasurement methodology for determining the compliance of wireless devices with the SARlimits.Because studies suggest that exclusion of features to represent a hand in human modelsconstitutes a conservative case scenario for SAR in the trunk and the head, a representationof a hand is not included if the device is intended to be used next to the head or supported onor near the torso [73], [80]. This standard does not apply for exposures from transmitting ornon-transmitting implanted medical devices. This standard does not apply for exposure fromdevices at distances greater than 200 mm away from the human body.IEC 62209-2 makes cross-reference to IEC 62209-1:2005 where complete clauses orsubclauses apply, along with any changes specified.
