Description

IEEE Std. C95.1-2345™-2014 is the NATO-facing voluntary consensus EMF exposure standard published by the International Committee on Electromagnetic Safety (ICES) under the auspices of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standards Association. This standard is undergoing its decennial revision. Military workplaces can present EMF conditions that are not found in civil environments. Military operational effectiveness is obtained by delicately balancing many risk types. This necessitates special consideration of EMF safety protocols for situations that could exceed ordinary public and occupational limits. This paper addresses the challenges faced by the ICES committee to renew safety limits for real-world military exposure environments.
