What are the RF guidelines?
The South African Department of Health provides the necessary safety guidelines for all emission throughout the electromagnetic spectrum. In particular, the RF safety guidelines, endorsed by the Department of Health in South Africa were developed by the International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection otherwise known as ICNIRP. The ICNIRP guidelines were internationally endorsed by the European Commission in July 1999 and subsequently by the UK government in May 2000. The World Health Organisation (WHO) and the South African Department of Health also endorse the use of ICNIRP as a suitable safety standard for RF exposure. It should be noted that ICNIRP sets the safety levels that govern both public and occupational exposure.
