Sec. 18.305 Field strength limits.
(a) ISM equipment operating on a frequency specified in Sec. 18.301 is permitted
unlimited radiated energy in the band specified for that frequency.
(b) The field strength levels of emissions which lie outside the bands
specified in Sec. 18.301, unless otherwise indicated, shall not exceed the
following:
Equipment Operating frequency RF Power generated by equipment (watts) Field
strength limit (uV/m) Distance (meters)
Any type unless otherwise specified (miscellaneous) Any ISM frequency Below
500
500 or more 25
25×SQRT(power/500) 300
^1300
Any non-ISM frequency Below 500
500 or more 15
15×SQRT(power/500) 300
^1300
Industrial heaters and RF stabilized arc welders On or below 5,725 MHz
Above 5,725 MHz Any
Any 10

Medical diathermy Any ISM frequency
Any non-ISM frequency Any
Any 25

2,400/F(kHz)× SQRT(power/500) 300

490 to 1,600 kHz
Above 1,600 kHz Any
Any 24,000/F(kHz)

Induction cooking ranges Below 90 kHz
On or above 90 kHz Any
Any 1,500

^430
^1Field strength may not exceed 10 μV/m at 1600 meters. Consumer equipment
operating below 1000 MHz is not permitted the increase in field strength
otherwise permitted here for power over 500 watts.
^2Reduced to the greatest extent possible.
^3Field strength may not exceed 10 μV/m at 1600 meters. Consumer equipment
is not permitted the increase in field strength otherwise permitted here for
over 500 watts.
^4Induction cooking ranges manufactured prior to February 1, 1980, shall be
subject to the field strength limits for miscellaneous ISM equipment.
(c) The field strength limits for RF lighting devices shall be the
following:
Frequency (MHz) Field strength limit at 30 meters (μV/m)
Non-consumer equipment:
30–88 30
88–216 50
216–1000 70
Consumer equipment:
30–88 10
88–216 15
216–1000 20
Notes
1. The tighter limit shall apply at the boundary between two frequency
ranges.
2. Testing for compliance with these limits may be made at closer distances,
provided a sufficient number of measurements are taken to plot the radiation
pattern, to determine the major lobes of radiation, and to determine the
expected field strength level at 30, 300, or 1600 meters. Alternatively, if
measurements are made at only one closer fixed distance, then the
permissible field strength limits shall be adjusted using 1/d as an
attenuation factor.
