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

It is well known in the medical device community that the immunity standards for implanted medical devices and the emissions standards for electrical devices are not compatible. Pacemakers have an operations mode that is used when excessive noise is detected. That mode goes by several names

RE: Pacemakers and ANSI standard...?

ANSI/IEEE C95.1 is for human exposure but it does not cover pacemakers. Draft VDE0848 part 2 (1991) covers 30 kHz-300Ghz and does have limits for pacemakers. An English translation is available from BSI. There is no relationship between the limits for human exposure and limits for pacemakers.

Brian, in the EU all pacemakers must comply with the immunity requirements of EN50061/A1:1995. There are no real requirements in the US. Pacemakers must not malfunction when a 1V peak to peak sine signal with a frequency range of 20 Hz-500 Hz is applied to a tissue interface simulation circuit
