## Key values

- **Limit value:** 13.7–30.7 V/m — Regulatory value — legally enforceable — VLAREM II environmental quality norm: 13.7 V/m from 10 to 400 MHz, 0.686 √f V/m from 400 to 2000 MHz and 30.7 V/m above 2000 MHz, as a spatially averaged level. The Flemish Government's published table gives 18.1 V/m at 700 MHz, 19.4 V/m at 800 MHz, 20.6 V/m at 900 MHz and 29.1 V/m at 1800 MHz, currently averaged over 30 minutes. Chapter 6.10 caps each operator's own contribution separately, so a site shared by several operators is bound by both. [flanders-vlarem-antennas, flanders-vlarem-text]
