PD IEC TR 63170:2018

This standard PD IEC TR 63170:2018 Measurement procedure for the evaluation of power density related to human exposure to radio frequency fields from wireless communication devices operating between 6 GHz and 100 GHz is classified in these ICS categories:

• 17.220.20 Measurement of electrical and magnetic quantities

This document describes the state of the art measurement techniques and test approaches for evaluating the local and spatial-average incident power density of wireless devices operating in close proximity to the users between 6 GHz and 100 GHz.

In particular, this document provides guidance for testing portable devices in applicable operating position(s) near the human body, such as mobile phones, tablets, wearable devices, etc. The methods described in this document may also apply to exposures in close proximity to base stations.

This document also gives guidance on how to assess exposure from multiple simultaneous transmitters operating below and above 6 GHz (including combined exposure of SAR and power density).

NOTE Compliance of devices with sufficiently low radiated power that is incapable of exceeding basic restrictions is addressed by IEC 62479 [2] and therefore not described in this document.
