EMF electromagnetic field testing

Due to the fact that electromagnetic fields (EMF) can cause dizziness, vomiting, childhood leukemia, adult malignant brain tumors, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, loss of fertility, cancer, etc., they seriously endanger human health. Therefore, in the field of lighting, in order to protect the central nervous system tissues of the exposed human head and trunk, and reduce their impact on the human body, it is necessary to establish a reasonable method for evaluating the electromagnetic field in the surrounding space of lighting equipment, namely the IEC/EN62493 standard.

Application scope of IEC/EN62493

This standard applies to the assessment of human exposure to electromagnetic fields in lighting equipment. This assessment consists of an induced current density of 20 kHz to 10 MHz around the lighting device and a special absorption ratio (SAR) of 100 kHz to 300 MHz

Applicable product scope

All indoor and outdoor lighting equipment intended for lighting purposes, with the basic function of generating and distributing light, and intended to be connected to a low-voltage power supply network or operated on batteries; General lighting equipment refers to all industrial, residential, public places, and street lighting equipment; One of the main functions is the lighting part of the multifunctional device for illumination.
