# 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.

## Key values

- **Limit value:** 1,000 V/m — Regulatory 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. [poland-mz-2019-2448]
- **Quantity:** electric field strength
- **Frequency band:** 50 Hz
- **Population:** general public
- **Set by:** Poland environmental EMF limits (Dz.U. 2019 poz. 2448) (Regulation of 17 December 2019, in force 1 January 2020)
