Description of BS EN 62209-2:2010+A1:2019 2019
This part of IEC 62209 series is applicable to any wireless
communication device capable of transmitting electromagnetic fields
(EMF) intended to be used at a position near the human body, in the
manner described by the manufacturer, with the radiating part(s) of
the device at distances up to and including 200 mm from a human
body, i.e. 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 (e.g. belt-clip, camera or Bluetooth
add-on), or embedded in garments. For transmitters used in close
proximity to the human ear, the procedures of IEC 62209-1:2005 are
applicable. This standard is applicable for radio frequency
exposure in the frequency range of 30 MHz to 6 GHz, and may be used
to measure simultaneous exposures from multiple radio sources used
in close proximity to human body. Definitions and evaluation
procedures are provided for the 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, cordless microphones,
auxiliary broadcast devices and radio transmitters in personal
computers. This International Standard gives guidelines for a
reproducible and conservative measurement methodology for
determining the compliance of wireless devices with the SAR limits.
Because studies suggest that exclusion of features to represent a
hand in human models constitutes a conservative case scenario for
SAR in the trunk and the head, a representation of a hand is not
included if the device is intended to be used next to the head or
supported on or near the torso [73], [80]. This standard does not
apply for exposures from transmitting or non-transmitting implanted
medical devices. This standard does not apply for exposure from
devices 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 or subclauses apply, along with any changes
specified.
