BS EN 50476 is a European standard on shortwave broadcast transmitters that discusses the product standard to demonstrate the compliance of broadcast station transmitters with the reference levels and the basic restrictions related to public exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (3 MHz - 30 MHz) to ensure protection against EMF exposure.
BS EN 50476 applies to short wave broadcast transmitters operating in the frequency range of 3 MHz to 30 MHz.
The object of BS EN 50476 is to demonstrate the compliance of such equipment with the basic restrictions (directly or indirectly via compliance with reference levels) related to public human
exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields.
BS EN 50476 on the product standard to demonstrate the compliance and restrictions of shortwave broadcast transmitters is useful for:
Shortwave transmitters are used to broadcast radio programmes or data streams over regional, national, or even intercontinental distances to an unlimited number of receivers.
BS EN 50476 provides you with guidance on the conditions for calculation and measurement, limits, evaluation of results and determination of compliance, the documentation provided by the equipment manufacturer, etc.
The compliance and restrictions provided by BS EN 50476 assist you in improving the performance and quality of the shortwave broadcast transmitters, enhancing safety, improving human working conditions, and counteracting adverse effects on human health and performance.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 5047, you can enhance shortwave broadcast transmitters’ effectiveness and efficacy and manufacture a standardized high-quality product.
