Organizations
Organizations who make recommendations on radio frequency exposure.
IEEE-ICES - International Committee on Electromagnetic Safety
This committee is responsible for the development of [the C95 series] standards for the safe use of electromagnetic energy in the range of 0 Hz to 300 GHz.
They maintains a list of current Expert Reviews and allows free access to C95 standards through their IEEE GET Program.
ICNIRP - International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
As an independent organization, the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) provides scientific advice and guidance on the health and environmental effects of non-ionizing radiation (NIR) to protect people and the environment from detrimental NIR exposure.
NCRP - National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements / Advisory Panel on Nonionizing Radiation
The panel has the primary function to analyze mechanisms of interaction of nonionizing radiation with biological systems, including humans, and to identify biological responses and potential human health effects.
COMAR - IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society Committee on Man and Radiation
COMAR's primary area of interest is biological effects of non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation. It examines and interprets the biological effects and presents its findings in an authoritative manner, usually in Technical Information Statements (TIS's) or Position Papers. These papers are subject to an extensive review process within the Committee and represent the consensus of the Committee.
