AR offers safety product line to help meet upcoming EU directive

July 12, 2015

Souderton, PA. AR RF/Microwave Instrumentation announced that its AR meters, sensor heads, and analyzers provide a simple solution to EMF measurement and can help comply with the requirements of an upcoming EU directive.

In today’s world, the company reports, electromagnetic (EM) fields in the workplace are becoming more and more numerous, and their intensities are increasing. As a result, concern for employee safety with respect to these EM fields is also increasing. On July 1, 2016, EU Directive 2013/35/EU will be enforced.

This directive will impose strict EM field guidelines on all EU member states in relation to worker safety. Per Article 4 of this directive, each workplace in the affected member states must assess all EM fields that may risk worker safety, measure the strength of these fields, and verify their compliance or suffer harsh penalties.

AR’s new line of EM safety products provides the means to satisfy these new responsibilities. These portable and compact instruments operate over a wide range of frequencies and field strengths while maintaining a small, handheld footprint. They are user-friendly and provide reliable measurements. In addition, they have a large data capacity and can record GPS co-ordinates which can later be viewed through mapping software.
