The following dates are fixed: latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
25、at national level by publication of an identical national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2018-10-09 latest date by which the national standards conflicting with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2020-10-09 This document supersedes EN 50364:2010. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of t
26、he elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CENELEC by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports ess
27、ential requirements of the Radio Equipment Directive 2014/53/EU and the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU. For relationships with EU Directives, see informative Annexes ZZA and ZZB, which are integral parts of this document. This European Standard is meant to be read in conjunction with prEN 62311:20

BS EN 50364:2018EN 50364:2018 (E) 4 1 Scope This product standard applies to devices operating within the frequency range 0 Hz to 300 GHz, used in electronic ar
29、ticle surveillance (EAS), radio frequency identification (RFID) and similar applications, in relation to exposure to electromagnetic fields The object of this product standard is to provide a route for evaluation of such equipment against limits on human exposure to electric, magnetic and electromag
30、netic fields, and induced and contact current. NOTE Other standards can apply to products covered by this document. In particular this document is not designed to evaluate the electromagnetic compatibility with other equipment; nor does it reflect any product safety requirements other than those spe
31、cifically related to human exposure to electromagnetic fields. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the
32、 latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

34、/EC of 12 July 1999, on the limitation of exposure of the general public to electromagnetic fields (0 Hz to 300 GHz), Official Journal, L199, of 1999-7-30, p.59-70 Directive 2013/35/EU of 26 June 2013, on the minimum health and safety requirements regarding the exposure of workers to the risks arisi
35、ng from physical agents (electromagnetic fields). Official Journal, L179, of 2013-6-29, p. 121 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 action level level provided for practical exposure assessment purposes, derived from exposure limit
36、 values Note 1 to entry: Respect of the action level will ensure respect of the relevant exposure limit value. If the action level is exceeded, it does not necessarily follow that the exposure limit value will be exceeded. 3.2 basic restriction restriction on exposure of the general public to electr
37、ic, magnetic and electromagnetic fields that is based directly on established health effects and biological considerations 3.3 exposure limit value restriction on exposure of workers to electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields that is based directly on established health effects and biological
38、considerations BS EN 50364:2018EN 50364:2018 (E) 5 3.4 reference level derived reference level level provided for practical exposure assessment purposes, derived from basic restrictions Note 1 to entry: Respect of the reference level will ensure respect of the relevant basic restriction. If the refe
39、rence level is exceeded, it does not necessarily follow that the basic restriction will be exceeded. 4 Exposure conditions Equipment which meets the limits for general public exposure as given in this document (Clause 5) will automatically meet the limits for workers. Equipment which meets the limit
40、s for workers will not necessarily meet the limits for the general public and, unless intended only for workers use when at work, equipment shall be tested against general public limits. Equipment intended only for use by workers when at work shall have this condition clearly identified in the user
41、instructions. This use condition shall be identified in the test report. All intended operating conditions as well as the reasonably foreseeable conditions of human exposure from the product shall be taken into account in the evaluation. The reasonably foreseeable conditions of exposure should be ba
42、sed on realistic exposure and/or installation parameters representative of all readily-predictable human and system behaviour such as the duration of exposure, time varying of transmitted power, simultaneously operated frequency bands and time averaging as defined in normative limits. In cases where
43、 the reasonably foreseeable exposure conditions for workers are different from the reasonably foreseeable exposure conditions for the general public, then a separate assessment shall be made covering those differences. 5 Normative limits For equipment intended for use by the general public the relev
44、ant exposure restrictions in Council Recommendation 1999/519/EC shall be applied. For equipment intended only for use by workers when at work, the relevant exposure restrictions in Directive 2013/35/EU shall be applied, with a statement as to whether the limit chosen provides protection against heal
45、th effects or sensory effects or both. Details of where limits are to be found in Directive 2013/35/EU, and how they relate to test methods, are given in 6.3. 6 Assessment of compliance 6.1 General The device being assessed is deemed to fulfil the requirements of this standard if all the measured an
46、d calculated values performed according to Clause 6, are less than or equal to the applicable exposure limits defined in Clause 5 Equipment complying with the requirements for the general public is deemed to comply with the requirements for workers without further testing. Measurements and calculati
47、ons to demonstrate equipment compliance shall be made according to EN 62369-1:2009, Clause 4. The general conditions as defined in that clause shall apply to all equipment. The measuring or calculation distance shall be the closest reasonably foreseeable human exposure distance measured from the edg
48、e or face of the equipment nearest to the relevant position of exposure. The chosen measuring or calculation distance, including the values given in EN 62369-1:2009, Table 1 and Figures 3 to 11, if used, shall be justified in the evaluation report as being the closest reasonable foreseeable human ex
49、posure distance. BS EN 50364:2018EN 50364:2018 (E) 6 NOTE When using numerical modelling methods, in some cases, the homogeneous hand model in EN 62369-1:2009, Annex B can cause artificial hot-spots to be introduced because of the sharp edges on the model. In order to reduce this possibility the model can be used with radius edges up to a maximum of 2.5mm radius; which is compatible with the finger spacing used in the original model. 6.2 Assessment of devices which emit multiple frequencies In situations where simultaneous exposure t
