AI-assisted research summary: This section explains how to measure Table 1 values and defines infrared and radiofrequency devices by wavelength and power limits.
0.00003 Notes to use of Table 1: (i) Use linear interpolation for wavelength of intermediate values. (ii) For devices emitting at more than one wavelength, the weighted contributions from each wavelength should be summed up. (iii) Alternatively, measurements can be conducted by instruments with a spectral response which is tailored in accordance with the weighting factors of Table 1. (b) Infrared radiation (IR): Any devices emitting in a spectra range 780 nm - 1 mm, with a power density lower than 10 mW/cm2 as measured at a distance of 5 centimetres from any accessible point on the device. 6 Atomic Energy (Protection from Ionizing and Non-Ionizing Radiation) (Amendment) GN.
