Radiation measurement

Everyone is exposed to many forms of electromagnetic fields in everyday life. Well-known examples of sources are radio, telephony and television transmitters, cellular phones and radar installations. The electromagnetic fields from these sources are called "non-ionizing fields” because the frequency (and thus energy content) of the fields is too low to be able to ionize atoms and thus cause damage.

In recent years, both on a national level (Health) as well as at European level (International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection, ICNIRP) standards have been established for field strengths to which the human body may be exposed (exposure levels). These standards also apply for industrial HF equipment. Modern, well-maintained HF equipment is able to meet these standards.

We advise all users of industrial HF equipment to have radiation measurements carried out least once a year in order to check that employees are not being exposed to excessive radiation levels. These radiation measurements are often combined with annual preventative maintenance.

If you have any questions about this, please don’t hesitate to put them to us; we’re happy to be of service!
