Introduction
Mitsuo Hattori
Chairman of WP2/5
Geneva, 27 May 2009
Aim of EMF Study in ITU-T SG5
Provide high level framework for managing
the human exposure to EMFs (regulatory
practices) emitted by the telecommunication
equipment
Provide guidelines for the assessment of
human exposure based on the existing
standards and recommendations
Activities specified in WTSA-08 Resolution 72
in order to assist developing countries in
human exposure assessment.

History of Study on EMF in ITU-T
New Question on EMF has started on 1996
and studying for 3 periods.
Three Recommendations have established
and revised since then.
–
–
–
K.52: Guidance on complying with limits for
human exposure to electromagnetic fields
K.61: Guidance on measurement and numerical
prediction of electromagnetic fields for
compliance with human exposure limits for
telecommunication installations
K.70: Mitigation techniques to limit human
exposure to EMFs in the vicinity of
radiocommunication stations

Workshop on EMF
Two Workshops were held.
First Workshops was held on 2001 in Hanoi with
EMC and safety issues.

specially addressing developing country is agreed to
be held in last meeting, but changed to TS.
