Which statement is NOT correct?
B
Answer
Regulations and administration
Type
A
Safety Code 6 specifies lower exposure limits for the general public in uncontrolled areas than for controlled areas
B
Hand-held transmitters are excluded from Safety Code 6 requirements
C
Safety Code 6 uses different units for magnetic field strength and electric field strength
D
Antenna gain, distance, transmitter power and frequency all influence exposure to radio energy
Answer Notes
The question asks for the statement that is NOT correct. Hand-held transmitters are absolutely subject to Safety Code 6 requirements. Because they operate very close to the user's body (specifically the head), they must meet strict Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) limits to ensure user safety.
The other statements in the options are completely true. Safety Code 6 does specify lower (stricter) limits for uncontrolled public areas compared to controlled environments.
Furthermore, the code accurately uses different units for magnetic fields (A/m) and electric fields (V/m), and recognizes that variables like antenna gain, distance, transmitter power, and operating frequency all directly influence total RF exposure.
