Re: [PSES] EU Harmonized RF Exposure Standards per RED for 13.56 MHz RFID

Wed, 04 Apr 2018 08:58:05 -0700 

The LVD does NOT apply.
For elektrical safety and EMC the RED will use it's proper list of harmonised standards. 

As says:

Art 1.4


/Radio equipment//falling within//the scope of this Directive//shall 
_*not*_ be subject//to Directive//2014/35/EU,//except as//set out in 
point (a) of Article 3(1) of this Directive. /


Art 3.1(a) says :


/the protection of health//and safety of persons//and of 
domestic//animals//and the protection//of proper//ty, 
including//the//objectives//with respect//to safety requirements//set 
out in Directive//2014/35/EU,//but with no voltage limit applying; /



One cannot legally apply a directive and say at the same time that some 
part of it is not applicable. It's the _objectives as set-out in the 
LV-directive_, that are an essential requirement to the RED, not the 
directive itself. I agree that such IS somewhat obscurantist wording.



The fact that no standards for electrical safety have been published yet 
does NOT help in good understanding the directives wording, of course.

Yes, well, it's typical obscurantist wording. The LVD DOES apply, but 
without its low-voltage limit. That is what Article 3 1 (a) says, 
quite explicitly.

In due course, all product EMF standards will be harmonised under RED

Yes, I cited the wrong Directive. Wrong citations are quite common, 
due to the Commission and the SMBs citing the largely meaningless 
'yyyy/nn' numbers instead of the titles of the Directives.



. The actual situation is that the Directive concerned is the Low 
Voltage Directive. The involvement of the RED is ONLY Article 3 1 
(a), which applies the LVD without its low-voltage limit. Nothing 
else of the RED is relevant.

    John,

    I think the physical agents Directive is concerned with the
    workplace, not with products.

    For assessment of RF Exposure risk/safety from products, the RED
    is indeed the correct Directive and it would be covered in
    Article 3.1a.

    Thanks,

    Michael.

    SECOND RESPONSE

    I should have mentioned that exposure standards have nothing to
    do with RED but are relevant to a different Directive:

    DIRECTIVE 2013/35/EU OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
    of 26 June 2013
    on the minimum health and safety requirements regarding the
    exposure of workers to the risks
    arising from physical agents (electromagnetic fields) (20th
    individual Directive within the meaning
    of Article 16(1) of Directive 89/391/EEC) and repealing Directive
    2004/40/EC

        Dear Members,

        Is there any harmonized standards applicable to 13.56 MHz
        RFID devices?

        The following four standards are listed in the latest
        published list standards (March 9, 2018).  It seems there is
        no one applicable to a 13.56 MHz RFID device.

        EN 50360:2017 Product standard to demonstrate the compliance
        of wireless communication devices, with the basic
        restrictions and exposure limit values related to human
        exposure to electromagnetic fields in the frequency range
        from 300 MHz to 6 GHz: devices used next to the ear

        EN 50385:2017 Product standard to demonstrate the compliance
        of base station equipment with radiofrequency electromagnetic
        field exposure limits (110 MHz — 100 GHz), when placed on the
        market

        EN 50401:2017 Product standard to demonstrate the compliance
        of base station equipment with radiofrequency electromagnetic
        field exposure limits (110 MHz — 100 GHz), when put into service

        EN 50566:2017 Product standard to demonstrate the compliance
        of wireless communication devices with the basic restrictions
        and exposure limit values related to human exposure to
        electromagnetic fields in the frequency range from 30 MHz to
        6 GHz: hand-held and body mounted devices in close proximity
        to the human body

        Thank you very much and I look forward to hearing from you.

        Best regards,

        Grace Lin
