What is BS EN 50664-Generic standard for equipment when put into service or in situ about?
BS EN 50664 is a European standard that discusses equipment used by workers with limits on exposure to electromagnetic fields (0 Hz - 300 GHz), when put into service or in situ. It provides a generic standard to demonstrate the compliance of equipment that operates in the frequency range from 0 Hz to 300 GHz to ensure protection to workers against EMF hazards.
The object of this BS EN 50664 is to provide a route for the evaluation of equipment used by workers against limits on human exposure to electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields, and induced and contact current when it is put into service in its operational environment, and for in situ or post-market evaluation of such equipment.
BS EN 50664 applies to equipment for which no dedicated harmonized putting-into-service or in situ product standard regarding worker exposure to electromagnetic fields exists.
Who is BS EN 50664-Generic standard for equipment when put into service or in situ for?
BS EN 50664 on the generic standard for equipment, when put into service or in situ is useful for:
- Occupational health and safety departments
- Risk evaluation departments
- Post-marketing surveillance departments
Why should you use BS EN 50664-Generic standard for equipment when put into service or in situ?
Exposure to extremely high EMF intensities can result in the heating of biological tissue and an increase in body temperature. Tissue damage in humans could occur during exposure to high EMF levels because of the body's inability to cope with or dissipate the excessive heat that could be generated.
BS EN 50664 provides you with the exposure conditions, limits, evaluation of compliance, assessment uncertainty, and much more.
The guidance provided by BS EN 50664 assists you in the evaluation of equipment that emits EMF, improves its performance, and ensures reducing the potential health risk of the electromagnetic field.
With obedience and compliance of BS EN 50664, you can improve the efficacy of the equipment that emits EMF and can manufacture a standardized product.
