Electro-magnetic fields are all around us, almost everywhere. They exist naturally and, of course, are human-made. EMF exposure measurements consist of employing sensors to determine the strength of the electro-magnetic components at different frequencies. After the measurements are complete, the total exposure calculation is performed.

Currently, two documents issued by the ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) can be used as a guideline for EMF exposure.
- Council recommendation of July 12, 1999 on the limitation of exposure of the general public to electromagnetic fields (0 Hz to 300 GHz).

Directive 2004/40/EC of the European parliament and the council of April 29, 2004 on the minimum health and safety requirements regarding the exposure of workers to the risks arising from physical agents (electromagnetic fields) (18th individual Directive within the meaning of Article 16(1) of Directive 89/391/EEC)

TÜV Rheinland EPS conducts EMF exposure measurements in house as well as “on-site” to determine the field strengths. These exposure measurements can be conducted in- and outside of buildings. Especially when high-power electronics, transformers, induction based machinery, welding apparatus and/or high-voltage power lines are used, classification of these hazards usually warrants measuring the strength of the EM field (RI&E analyse).

TÜV Rheinland EPS has years of experience with measurements of EMF using highly sophisticated equipment.
