Are the limits on RF field strength the same for all countries?
No. International guidelines are set by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and the majority of countries have adopted these as a basis for protection. However, some countries still use guidelines which are considerably more restrictive. Historically, the UK guidelines were higher than those in other countries, but it has now adopted the ICNIRP guidelines.
