Poland residential-zoning electric limit at 50 Hz
1000 V/m on land zoned for housing — five times stricter than the 5000 V/m EU/ICNIRP reference level, and a separate stricter tier from the 10,000 V/m that applies in other publicly accessible places.

- Limit value
- 1,000 V/mRegulatory value — legally enforceable — Annex, Table 1 (land zoned for housing): E = 1000 V/m, H = 60 A/m, as RMS values. Table 2 allows 10,000 V/m in places merely accessible to the public, so the housing tier is the binding constraint for new transmission lines over residential land.sources: poland-mz-2019-2448

Poland replaced its 7 V/m environmental RF limit with the EU/ICNIRP reference levels on 1 January 2020, while keeping a stricter 1000 V/m 50 Hz electric-field value for land zoned for housing.
Standards & frameworks

100 µT (1000 mG) magnetic flux density and 5 kV/m electric field strength at power frequency, the values still in force across the EU.
