Which of these statements about Safety Code 6 is NOT correct?
- ASafety Code 6 sets limits for induced currents, electrical field strength and magnetic field strength from
- BSafety Code 6 sets limits for allowable rates at which RF energy is absorbed in the body (specific absorption rate)
- CSafety Code 6 sets limits in terms of power levels fed into antennas
- DSafety Code 6 sets limits for contact currents that could be drawn from ungrounded or poorly grounded objects
Correct answer: C — Safety Code 6 sets limits in terms of power levels fed into antennas. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
Safety Code 6 does not set limits based on the power levels fed into antennas because the actual radio frequency energy reaching a person depends on distance, antenna type, and direction, not just the transmitter output. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
