EMF standards FAQ

Are people with electronic implants protected by the safety standard?

Not in all cases. Electronic implants usually come with safety information on the risk of potential interference from electrical and electronic equipment including mobile phones and radio transmitters.

Specific radio frequency interference and immunity standards have been developed to provide protection against interference to electronic implants.

People with implants should consult their medical specialist on the risk of interference if they are concerned. The ICNIRP human exposure guidelines are not designed to protect against interference into electronic equipment.
