What is BS EN 50663-Generic standard for assessment of low power electronic and electrical equipment about?

BS EN 50663 is a European standard that discusses the assessment of low-power electronic and electrical equipment. It provides the best industry guidance on the generic standard for assessment of low power electronic and electrical equipment related to human exposure restrictions for electromagnetic fields for frequency ranges from 10 MHz to 300 GHz to reduce the potential health risk involved with an electromagnetic field.

BS EN 50663 provides simple conformity assessment methods for low-power electronic and electrical equipment operating at frequencies between 10 MHz and 300 GHz to an electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure limit.

If such equipment cannot be shown to comply with the applicable EMF exposure requirements using the exposure assessment methods in BS EN 50663, then other EMF product standards may be used for conformity assessment.

Note: Other standards can apply to equipment covered under BS EN 50663. BS EN 50663 is not designed to evaluate the electromagnetic compatibility with other equipment; nor does it reflect any product safety requirements other than those specifically related to human exposure to electromagnetic fields.

Who is BS EN 50663-Generic standard for assessment of low power electronic and electrical equipment for?

BS EN 50663 on the generic standard for assessment of low power electronic and electrical equipment is useful for:

Low power electronic and electrical equipment manufacturers
Low power electronic and electrical equipment test personnel
Health and safety departments
Risk evaluation departments
Quality assurance departments

Why should you use BS EN 50663-Generic standard for assessment of low power electronic and electrical equipment?

Exposure to extremely high EMF intensities can result in the heating of biological tissue and an increase in body temperature. Tissue damage in humans could occur during exposure to high EMF levels because of the body's inability to cope with or dissipate the excessive heat that could be generated.

BS EN 50663 provides you with exposure conditions, normative limits, evaluation of compliance, assessment uncertainty, and much more.

The assessment methods provided by BS EN 50663 ensures to improve the performance of low-power electronic and electrical equipment and ensure reducing the potential health risk of the electromagnetic field.

With compliance and obedience of BS EN 50663, you can enhance the efficacy of low-power electronic and electrical equipment and manufacture a standardized product.
