Chapter Exposure Limit Values – thermal effects

Table ELV4 – Health effect ELVs for exposure to electromagnetic fields from 100 kHz to 6 GHz

Area of exposure	Health effect ELVs – specific energy absorption rate (SAR) [Wkg^-1]
Whole body	0.4 (averaged SAR in the body)
Head and trunk	10 (localised SAR in the head and trunk)
Limbs	20 (localised SAR in the limbs)

Table ELV5 - Sensory effect ELV for exposure to electromagnetic fields from 300 MHz to 6 GHz

Frequency range	Sensory effect ELV – specific energy absorption in the head (SA) [mJkg^-1]
300 MHz ≤ f ≤ 6 GHz	10

Table ELV6 - Health effect ELV for exposure to electromagnetic fields from 6 to 300 GHz

Frequency range	Health effect ELV – power density (S) [Wm^–2]
6 GHz ≤ f ≤ 300 GHz	50
