Organizations
Regulators, standards bodies, health authorities, certifying institutes and advocacy groups, with jurisdiction and role.
The French health and environment agency, which devoted a dedicated collective expert review to electromagnetic hypersensitivity: its 2018 report found no solid experimental evidence of a causal link while calling the reported suffering real and recommending clinical care and further research.
Australia's radiation protection authority, and one of the clearest public sources of measured base-station and Wi-Fi exposure data.
An independent group of scientists and advocates that published a large precautionary review proposing exposure targets orders of magnitude below regulatory limits; widely cited in advocacy and widely criticised by regulators.
The US building-biology training and certification body. Its Electromagnetic Radiation Specialist (EMRS) credential is the one most residential EMF consultants in North America hold, and it publishes a searchable register of currently certified professionals.
German federal radiation protection authority. Publishes the public SAR database of manufacturer-declared values for mobile phones sold in Germany, measured to EN 62209-1 and EN 62209-2 with 10 g averaging.
Sets and enforces India's base-station EMF limits at one tenth of the ICNIRP levels and publishes per-site compliance data through the Tarang Sanchar portal.
A physicians' association that publishes precautionary EMF guideline values intended for clinical use; its values are far below regulatory limits and are not adopted by any regulator.
The U.S. regulator that sets and enforces legally binding RF exposure limits, authorises equipment, and publishes the SAR and tower databases underlying most U.S. EMF questions.
Publishes Safety Code 6, the Canadian RF exposure code that ISED adopts as the basis for certifying phones, base stations and broadcast antennas.
Develops the IEEE C95 series of exposure standards, which are harmonised with ICNIRP in most respects and referenced by some regulators and employers.
The German institute behind the SBM building biology testing methodology and its precautionary evaluation bands, and the training body for building-biology consultants.
The WHO agency that classifies carcinogenic hazard; responsible for the Group 2B classifications of both RF fields (2011) and ELF magnetic fields (2002).
The independent scientific body whose exposure guidelines are adopted, in whole or in part, by the EU and most countries outside the United States.
Issues and administers GB 8702-2014, the mandatory Chinese national standard for public exposure to electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields from 1 Hz to 300 GHz.
U.S. institute that ran the EMF RAPID research program and publishes the appliance and power-line field measurements used as reference ranges for ELF exposure.
The UK spectrum regulator, which since 2021 has enforced the ICNIRP general-public exposure limits through a condition attached to spectrum licences.
The Swiss accreditation body. Its public STS register is the authoritative way to check whether a firm is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 for NISV measurements of mobile base stations — the only kind of report Swiss authorities act on.
The UK professional body for radiation protection, incorporated by Royal Charter, whose CRadP/IRadP/TechRadP registers cover non-ionising as well as ionising radiation and are the closest thing the UK has to a chartered EMF-assessment credential.
Administers Switzerland's ONIR/NISV ordinance, which adds legally binding precautionary installation limit values well below ICNIRP reference levels at places of sensitive use.
Regulates radiation-emitting electronic products including microwave ovens, and reviews the evidence base for RF exposure from consumer devices.
Maintains the international EMF health-evidence assessments, commissions systematic reviews, and publishes the position statements national authorities cite.
