Class/Status: Standard, valid
Released: 2023-12
VDE Art. No.: 0800897

This standard contains the German version of the first edition of the European Standard EN 50527-2-3 with requirements for the assessment of the safety of persons with implantable neurostimulators, in particular spinal cord stimulation devices, in electromagnetic fields in the frequency range 0 Hz to 300 GHz at working places. The standard serves to the implementation of the European Workers Directive 2013/35/EU. The frequency range under consideration extends from 0 Hz bis 3 GHz. The methods for the assessment are specified in this standard. The assessment includes the likelihood of clinically significant effects and takes account of both transient and long term exposure within specific areas of the workplace (transient exposition). For the assessment a 3-phase procedure is specified. In the annexes further information concerning the implants and the methods are given.
