Korea public magnetic limit at 60 Hz
83.3 µT (833 mG) at Korea's 60 Hz mains frequency — the ICNIRP 1998 reference level, which Korea kept rather than moving to the 200 µT figure of the 2010 revision.

- Limit value
- 83.3 µTRegulatory value — legally enforceable — The general-public table gives B = 5/f µT with f in kHz for 25 Hz–0.8 kHz, which is 83.3 µT at 60 Hz; the RRA states the Korean power-frequency figure as 833 mG. Korea separately notes that 4 mG values quoted for Switzerland, the Netherlands and Denmark are installation or quality targets, not human-protection limits.sources: korea-emf-protection-standard
