maximum exposure level of RF fields for general population, in the range 10 to 300 MHz, is 28 V RMS per metre (E-field)
portable transmitters, operating below 1 GHz with a power output up to 7 watts, are excluded from Safety Code 6 requirements
maximum exposure level of RF fields for general population, in the range 30 to 300 Mhz, is .073 A RMS per metre (H-field)
the exemption of portable transmitters, operating below 1 GHz with a power output up to 7 watts was removed from Safety Code 6 in 1999

Safety Code 6 regulates the operation of receivers only
the operation of portable transmitting equipment is of no concern in Safety Code 6
portable transmitters, operating below 1 GHz, with an output power equal to, or less than 7 watts, are exempt from the requirements of Safety Code 6
the exemption for portable transmitters was eliminated in Safety Code 6 in 1999
