international commission for non-ionising radiation protection (immission) (ICNIRP)

The International Commission for Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) is a private organization of international experts that studies the effects of electromagnetic radiation on living things. The ICNIRP (International Commission for Non-Ionising Radiation Protection) values for exposure from magnetic flux density cover the frequency ranges from direct current, the radio frequency range to microwaves with frequencies of 300 GHz. The ICNIRP values thus apply to high-voltage direct current(HVDC) transmission as well as to all radio technologies, radio and television transmitters, and mobile phone networks. Radiation from transmitting equipment can cause heating and nerve stimulation in the body and, depending on the transmission power, can affect health. For example, alternating magnetic fields can cause reversible and irreversible damage to the human body, depending on the intensity and frequency. Therefore, the limits recommended by ICNIRP indicate the values up to which people may be exposed to high-frequency electromagnetic fields. In Germany, the ICNIRP limits have been incorporated into the Federal Immission Control Ordinance (BImSchV) and form the basis for its implementing ordinance BImSchV. Limit values BImSchV for high-frequency fields The BImSchV lists the limit values for electric field strength in volts per meter (V/m) and magnetic field
