# The Control of Electromagnetic Fields at Work Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2016, Paragraph 2: Notes


Localised SAR in the body and limbs can be assessed by either computational dosimetry or physical measurement of 10 grams of tissue. For computational dosimetry, 10 grams of contiguous tissue with approximately homogeneous electrical properties shall be used for the SAR average. For direct physical measurements a simple geometry, such as cubic or spherical tissue mass, may be used. The maximum value obtained shall be assessed against the ELVs.
