Project description

Depending on the magnitude and frequency of the field, exposure to an electromagnetic field may affect both electronic components and biological matter. International standards exist to ensure that the products on the market are safe. Safety includes two important factors. The first is that the products are not affected by present electromagnetic fields in a way that may cause harmful effects for the surroundings. The second is that the products do not transmit electromagnetic fields that may cause harmful effects to the surroundings. In both cases, the surroundings also means the user of the equipment.

There are ten partners in the project, representing industry, insitutes, and universities. The partners and their focus areas in this project are briefly described on these pages.
