Table 6. 1. Upper action values for exposure to electric fields from 1 Hz to 300 GHz

Frequency area, f	Upper action value for electric field strength (E) [Vm^-1] (RMS)
1 Hz ≤ f < 50 Hz	2.0 x 10^-4
50 Hz ≤ f < 1.64 kHz	1.0 x 10^-6 /f
1.64 kHz ≤ f < 10 MHz	610
10 MHz ≤ f < 400 MHz	61
400 MHz ≤ f < 2 GHz	3.0 x 10^-3 x f^½
2 GHz ≤ f ≤ 300 GHz	140

Note 6.1-1: f is frequency in hertz [Hz].

Note 6.1-2: The upper action values for electric field strength are Root-Mean-Square, RMS values equivalent to peak values divided by √2 for sine-shaped fields. As regards fields that are not sine-shaped, the exposure assessment shall be carried out based on the weighted peak method (filtering in the time domain).

Note 6.1-3: The action values represent maximum calculated or measured values at the employee's body position.
