What is the EN 50665:2017 Test?

EN 50665:2017 is a general standard for the evaluation of electronic and electrical equipment concerning human exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF). It addresses limits related to electromagnetic field exposure, magnetic fields, and induced and contact currents in relation to human contact. This standard provides a method for assessing such equipment.

This updated harmonized standard (EN 50665:2017) complies with the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) or the Radio Equipment Directive (RED).

EN 50665:2017 Frequency Range:

The operating frequency range of the electronic and electrical products covered by this standard is from 0 MHz to 300 GHz.

Applicability:

The standard applies to electronic products used by users at a minimum distance of 20 cm from the body under normal usage conditions.

Important Information:

- Limits: According to EN 50665, it is recommended to use the standards listed in Table 2 of 1999/519/EC for evaluating the environmental impact of human exposure to RF radiation. For details, refer to the table below:

- Test Methods: The product's antenna, under normal usage conditions, should be at least 20 cm away from the user's body. A warning statement must be printed in the user manual advising users to maintain a 20 cm distance and prohibiting operation by personnel. Therefore, during normal use, the product is within the electromagnetic far field relative to the human body, with the calculation formula as follows:

This standard is used in conjunction with another standard, EN 62311:2008: "Assessment of electronic and electrical equipment related to human exposure restrictions for electromagnetic fields."

EN 50665:2017 requires reference to the methods and limits of EN 62311:2008 to meet the requirements of the RED directive.
