What is IEEE C95.3-2021?

IEEE C95.3-2021 is the IEEE Recommended Practice for measurements and computations of electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields with respect to human exposure to such fields in the frequency range 0 Hz to 300 kHz. It provides methods for measuring field strength, induced and contact current, and specific absorption rate (SAR) at low and power frequencies — used to demonstrate compliance with exposure limits such as those defined in IEEE C95.1, ICNIRP guidelines, and national regulations.

IEEE C95.3-2021 is relevant to a wide range of products that generate significant low-frequency electromagnetic fields — from wireless charging systems and induction cookers to medical devices and industrial equipment. It complements our RF Exposure Testing services (which cover higher frequencies including SAR/MPE for mobile devices) by addressing the 0 Hz to 300 kHz range specifically. See also inductive loop testing and ETSI EN 300 330 for related low-frequency wireless standards.

🔎 IEEE C95.3 and wireless charging: Wireless charging systems (Qi, wireless EV charging) generate strong low-frequency magnetic fields at their operating frequencies (typically 85–205 kHz). Demonstrating compliance with human exposure limits requires measurements per IEEE C95.3 methods combined with applicable exposure limits from standards such as SAE J2954, IEC 61980, or ICNIRP 2010 guidelines. Our EMC Design Consulting team can advise on the correct test plan for your product.
