Who decides on guidelines?

18/03/2012

English | Española | Français

Countries set their own national standards for exposure to electromagnetic fields. However, the majority of these national standards draw on the guidelines set by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). This non-governmental organization, formally recognized by WHO, evaluates scientific results from all over the world. Based on an in-depth review of the literature, ICNIRP produces guidelines recommending limits on exposure. These guidelines are reviewed periodically and updated if necessary.Electromagnetic field levels vary with frequency in a complex way. Listing every value in every standard and at every frequency would be difficult to understand. The table below is a summary of the exposure guidelines for the three areas that have become the focus of public concern: electricity in the home, mobile phone base stations and microwave ovens. These guidelines were last updated in April 1998.

2023 Chinese Electromagnetic Shielding Protective Clothing (radiation suit radiation maternity dress) Physical Store Quality Sampling Assessment(05/02/2023)
Recently, for the suit of electromagnetic radiation of Chinese mainland (known locally as radiation suits, or radiation maternity), ESMMC conducted a field shop unannounced visits, sampling activities. ESMMC sampled the product storage, and entrusted with maintaining long-term relationships globally recognized laboratories for product quality assessment. This is results of the evaluation.

2019 Report on Functional Comparison Test of Radiation-proof Clothes for Pregnant Women(27/02/2019)
he rise of technology allows us to enjoy unexpected life experience. However, electromagnetic radiation brought by various electronic and electrical products has become a new concern. According to the ESMMC survey, more than 90% of women will purchase radiation-proof clothes when preparing themselves for pregnancy in response to the increasingly complex environment exposed to electromagnetic radiation.
Scientific Radiation Protection, Care for the Future, ESMMC Comparative Test Report on Radiation Protection Maternity Wear and Top Ten Radiation Protection Wear(01/08/2018)
Radiation protection maternity wear of unique materials and reasonable design can adapt to physiological changes of pregnant women and shield them from radiation, thus gaining great attention among pregnant women. Brands of radiation protection clothing such as U+ (Youjia) and JOYNCLEON have become the hot topic of conversations among expectant mothers.
Questionnaire survey on the consumers' experience of radiation maternity dress in 2016(18/03/2016)
