Niels EN 45502-1 only gives induced levels into leads (the last time I looked) and is difficult to correlate to field strengths. Cenelec TC106X is working on a proposed standard and a preliminary draft is out on which you have to contact your National Committee. A good starting point is to look at manufacturers environmental specifications and the EU EMF Recommendation 1999/519/EC is also a useful reference. Best Regards John McAuley

Frequency range in question is 10 - 50 kHz. The medical standard EN 60601-1-2 has no requirements in that frequency range. I have found EN 45502-1 and ISO 14708-2 as standards for implantable pacemakers but we do not have these standards. Do you know if one of these standards, or the both, would be relevant for answering the question? Or maybe someone is able to toss off an answer?
