(RMS)
1 Hz ≤ f < 50 Hz2.0 x 10-4
50 Hz ≤ f < 1.64 kHz1.0 x 10-6 /f
1.64 kHz ≤ f < 10 MHz610
10 MHz ≤ f < 400 MHz61
400 MHz ≤ f < 2 GHz3.0 x 10-3 x f½
2 GHz ≤ f ≤ 300 GHz140
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.
