## Key values

- **Limit value:** 1 × 10^7 µW/m² — Regulatory value — legally enforceable — The ICNIRP figure for this band, in force in Brazil through Ato 17.865/2023, which covers 8.3 kHz–300 GHz for occupational and general-public exposure from transmitting stations and user terminals, and requires a conformity report by calculation or measurement that accounts for co-sited stations. [brazil-anatel-ato-17865]
- **Quantity:** power density
- **Frequency band:** 2–300 GHz
- **Population:** general public
- **Set by:** Brazil Anatel RF exposure limits (Ato 17865/2023) (Lei nº 11.934/2009; Resolução nº 700/2018; Ato nº 17.865 of 30 December 2023, in force 1 March 2024)
- **Kind:** Regulatory — legally enforceable
