Appendix 5 - ARPANSA EME Report

RF EME Exposure Standard
The calculated EME levels in this report have been expressed as percentages of the ARPANSA RF Standard and this table
shows the actual RF EME limits used for the frequency bands available. At frequencies below 2000 MHz the limits vary across
the band and the limit has been determined at the Assessment Frequency indicated. The four exposure limit figures quoted
are equivalent values expressed in different units – volts per metre (V/m), watts per square metre (W/m²), microwatts per
square centimetre (µW/cm²) and milliwatts per square metre (mW/m²). Note: 1 W/m² = 100 µW/cm² = 1000 mW/m².
