# How do I find a qualified EMF consultant?

> Search the certifier's own register (BBI, IBN, SRP), or an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited lab where the result has legal weight, and judge the survey by whether the report names instrument, calibration, method, positions and the limit compared against.

## Question

How do I find someone qualified to survey my home for EMF, and how do I check them?

## Answer

Start from a certifying body's own register rather than from search ads, because that is the only listing the certifier will stand behind: the Building Biology Institute publishes a directory of currently certified EMRS/BBEC professionals in North America, IBN trains and lists building-biology consultants in Europe, and the UK's Society for Radiological Protection maintains chartered registers that cover non-ionising radiation. For anything with legal consequences — a base-station complaint, a workplace assessment — ask instead for a laboratory accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 for the specific measurement method. Then check the report, not the person: it should name the instrument and its calibration date, the method, the measurement positions, and which limit or guideline each number is compared against.
