<\/a>Ofcom is holding a public consultation<\/a> on proposed measures to require all those<\/strong> with transmitting equipment capable of generating more than 10 watts EIRP to demonstrate compliance with international guidelines for limiting exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF).<\/p>\n
\na) Identify the measurements, tests, calculations or other procedures they have carried out.
\nb) Explain why they considered those procedures were appropriate.
\nc) Provide evidence that a site is compliant with the basic restrictions, including by providing, where appropriate, test measurements, calculation results and\/or certificates of compliance.
\nd) Explain how they ensure they continue to comply with the basic restrictions, including (i) when they modify radio equipment or a site; (ii) where for any other reason the power anticipated to be transmitted from the site has increased above that originally assumed; and (iii) when they become aware that a site may not be complying with the basic restrictions.
\ne) Explain what measures are in place to ensure members of the public cannot unknowingly enter areas close to antennas where exposure may exceed the basic restrictions.<\/p>\n
