BS IEC/IEEE 62704-3:2017

Comprehensive Standard for Wireless Device Safety Compliance

BS IEC/IEEE 62704-3:2017 is a critical British Standard that provides detailed guidance for determining the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of wireless devices and their impact on the human body. This standard is an essential tool for manufacturers, regulatory bodies, and testing laboratories to ensure the safety and compliance of wireless products.

Ensuring Wireless Device Safety

In today's connected world, the proliferation of wireless technologies has raised concerns about the potential health effects of electromagnetic radiation exposure. BS IEC/IEEE 62704-3:2017 addresses these concerns by establishing a robust framework for measuring and evaluating the SAR levels of wireless devices, including:

• Smartphones, tablets, and other handheld devices
• Wireless charging systems
• Wireless communication modules and antennas
• Wearable electronics

Comprehensive Measurement Techniques

This standard provides detailed guidance on the measurement techniques and procedures to be used when determining the SAR levels of wireless devices. It covers a wide range of aspects, including:

• Measurement setups and equipment requirements
• Phantom models and tissue-simulating liquids
• Measurement procedures for different device types and exposure scenarios
• Data processing and uncertainty analysis

Ensuring Compliance with Safety Regulations

By adhering to the guidelines set forth in BS IEC/IEEE 62704-3:2017, manufacturers and testing laboratories can ensure that their wireless devices comply with the latest safety regulations and standards, such as:

• IEC 62209-1 and IEC 62209-2 for human exposure to radio frequency fields
• IEEE C95.1-2019 for safety levels with respect to human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields
• FCC and ICNIRP guidelines for limiting exposure to electromagnetic fields

Comprehensive and Authoritative Guidance

BS IEC/IEEE 62704-3:2017 is the result of a collaborative effort between the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). It provides a comprehensive and authoritative reference for all stakeholders involved in the development, testing, and regulation of wireless devices.

By adopting this standard, manufacturers can demonstrate their commitment to product safety and compliance, while regulatory bodies and testing laboratories can rely on the robust and reliable measurement techniques to ensure the protection of public health.
