## Records

- [ANSES (Agence nationale de sécurité sanitaire, France)](https://emfbase.com/organizations/anses): 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.
- [Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA)](https://emfbase.com/organizations/arpansa): Australia's radiation protection authority, and one of the clearest public sources of measured base-station and Wi-Fi exposure data.
- [BioInitiative Working Group](https://emfbase.com/organizations/bioinitiative): 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.
- [Building Biology Institute (BBI)](https://emfbase.com/organizations/building-biology-institute): 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.
- [Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz (BfS)](https://emfbase.com/organizations/german-federal-office-for-radiation-protection): 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.
- [Department of Telecommunications, India (DoT)](https://emfbase.com/organizations/india-department-of-telecommunications): 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.
- [European Academy for Environmental Medicine (EUROPAEM)](https://emfbase.com/organizations/europaem): 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.
- [Federal Communications Commission (FCC)](https://emfbase.com/organizations/fcc): 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.
- [Health Canada](https://emfbase.com/organizations/health-canada): Publishes Safety Code 6, the Canadian RF exposure code that ISED adopts as the basis for certifying phones, base stations and broadcast antennas.
- [IEEE International Committee on Electromagnetic Safety (ICES)](https://emfbase.com/organizations/ieee-ices): Develops the IEEE C95 series of exposure standards, which are harmonised with ICNIRP in most respects and referenced by some regulators and employers.
- [Institut für Baubiologie + Nachhaltigkeit (IBN)](https://emfbase.com/organizations/ibn): The German institute behind the SBM building biology testing methodology and its precautionary evaluation bands, and the training body for building-biology consultants.
- [International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)](https://emfbase.com/organizations/iarc): The WHO agency that classifies carcinogenic hazard; responsible for the Group 2B classifications of both RF fields (2011) and ELF magnetic fields (2002).
- [International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP)](https://emfbase.com/organizations/icnirp): The independent scientific body whose exposure guidelines are adopted, in whole or in part, by the EU and most countries outside the United States.
- [Ministry of Ecology and Environment (China)](https://emfbase.com/organizations/china-ministry-of-ecology-and-environment): 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.
- [National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS)](https://emfbase.com/organizations/niehs): 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.
- [Ofcom](https://emfbase.com/organizations/ofcom): The UK spectrum regulator, which since 2021 has enforced the ICNIRP general-public exposure limits through a condition attached to spectrum licences.
- [Schweizerische Akkreditierungsstelle (SAS)](https://emfbase.com/organizations/swiss-accreditation-service): 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.
- [Society for Radiological Protection (SRP)](https://emfbase.com/organizations/society-for-radiological-protection): 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.
- [Swiss Federal Office for the Environment (BAFU/FOEN)](https://emfbase.com/organizations/bafu): Administers Switzerland's ONIR/NISV ordinance, which adds legally binding precautionary installation limit values well below ICNIRP reference levels at places of sensitive use.
- [U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)](https://emfbase.com/organizations/fda): Regulates radiation-emitting electronic products including microwave ovens, and reviews the evidence base for RF exposure from consumer devices.
- [World Health Organization (WHO)](https://emfbase.com/organizations/who): Maintains the international EMF health-evidence assessments, commissions systematic reviews, and publishes the position statements national authorities cite.
