8.4 Action levels (LA) of the
static magnetic field
The European Union Directive on Electromagnetic Fields
(Directive 2013/35/EU, also known as the EMF Directive)
contains general provisions to ensure the safety and health
of workers. Essentially, the EMF Directive provides further
details on how to achieve the objectives of the Framework
Directive (Directive 89/391/EEC), in the specific case of
work in the presence of electromagnetic fields. An action
level (LA) quantified as 0.5 mT (milli-Tesla) is specified to
limit interference with the function of active implantable
medical devices.
The Electromagnetic Fields Directive also provides for an
LA of 3 mT to limit the propulsive risk in the peripheral
field from high intensity sources (> 100 Mt).
The following table shows the LA values of the stationary
fields of the various MaxX models in active state (MAG) or
in deactivated state (DEMAG).
