scope:

This Technical Report illustrates good practice and provides guidance with regard to the term "reasonably foreseeable use" as it relate to product compliance assessment standards concerning the exposure of humans to electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields (EMF) as required in the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) and Low Voltage Directive (LVD). Other safety aspects and requirements from other directives are not covered by this Technical Report. This report uses the term "reasonably foreseeable use". In this context of this TR the terms "reasonably foreseeable conditions" and "conditions of use which can be reasonably foreseen" are interchangeable. The report provides guidance that is not specific to individual equipment. The report covers both occupational and general public use of equipment and also provides a rationale for the distinction between occupational use and use by the general public.
