EMF Compliance

EMF compliance needs to be factored into the design process and the continued
operation of the communication facility. The use of a EMF budget is
strongly recommendedand can ensure personnel safety and government
compliance. A simple source for the EMF compliance issue should be the
company’s EMF policy.
The establishment of an EMF power budget should be incorporated
into the master source documents for the site and be stored on the
site itself, identifying the transmitters used, the power, who calculated the
numbers, and when it was last done. As a regular part of the preventative
maintenance process, the site should be checked for compliance and
changes to the fundamental budget calculation.
The method for calculating the compliance issue is included in the IEEE
C95.1-1991 specification with measurement techniques included in C95.3.
Both cellular and PCS utilize the same C95.1-1991 standard. Currently, different
guidelines are used for different wireless services. It is recommended
that the C95.1-1991 specification be used for all the wireless services. However,
be sure that the license you are operating under complies with the
applicable EMF standard.
