Brian, I had never heard of ICNIRP, so I did a quick search. It seems to be
more of a SAR requirements, verses EMF. It primarily would apply to
transmitters. Do your products have transmitters in them? There is no low
cost SAR test equipment that I know of.
Back when I was working full time we had an OATs site, but stopped using
it. The ambient noise floor increased to a level that caused issues along
with the TV stations switching to digital, wiping out significant chunks of
RF spectrum. It made the OATs site unusable. We switched to running in the
basement of the building using the techniques Ken Wyatt has published in
EDN, etc.

I am looking to purchase the test equipment necessary to test Radiated
Electromagnetic and Magnetic Field (EMF) between 100Khz and 30Mhz at very
close distances to the product. Our goal is to buy something economical to
quick-check a couple products we make, so we are looking for a way to
measure these measurements without breaking the bank. Any suggestions.
Also, are there any experts in EMF testing that would be willing to answer
a few questions regarding limits? I have read through the ICNIRP guides
and found them to be very difficult to understand; especially in the 100kHz
to 300Ghz document. On occasion, we get test reports from field
evaluations and the limits they use does not seem to line up with anything
I have found so far.
If there are good online references I have yet to find and read, that would
be helpful, too.
Thanks to all.
