ITU-T K.153 PDF

This Recommendation provides guidance on how to determine the exclusion zones (compliance boundaries) i.e., distances in which electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure limits for the general public or workers may be exceeded of a base station (BS) or other transmitting stations. In many situations, it is important to evaluate the areas in which the presence of people shall be excluded or limited because of the radio frequency electromagnetic field (RF EMF) exposure. This Recommendation provides guidance for different types of mobile BS (macro, micro, small, etc.) and other transmitting stations in areas around transmitting antennas considering the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) RF EMF exposure limits. Guidance on the appropriate RF-EMF limits to be applied to workers at radiocommunication sites and facilities or where such facilities are located at another site (for example, a rooftop antenna installation on a non-telecommunication building) is provided in [ITU-T K.145].
