RF EMF Surveys
Professional RF / EMF Surveys to Meet EMF Directive & CEMFAW Requirements
EMC Hire provides specialist RF / EMF surveys to help organisations assess electromagnetic field exposure, protect employees, and demonstrate full compliance with the EMF Directive (2013/35/EU) and the UK CEMFAW Regulations (SI 2016/588).
Our engineers deliver accurate, traceable EMF measurements using calibrated equipment, ensuring your workplace meets all required Action Levels (ALs) and Exposure Limit Values (ELVs).
If you need a reliable EMF exposure assessment, RF field strength survey, or electromagnetic field testing, EMC Hire offers a complete, end to end service.
What Is an RF / EMF Survey?
An RF / EMF survey measures the levels of electromagnetic fields generated by equipment such as:
- RF transmitters and antennas
- Industrial heaters and welders
- Wireless communication systems
- High power electrical machinery
- Laboratory and R&D equipment
- EMC test chambers and RF test setups
Under the EMF Directive and CEMFAW Regulations, employers must identify EMF sources, measure exposure, and ensure levels remain within legal limits. A professional EMF survey provides the evidence you need to stay compliant.
Why Businesses Need EMF Surveys
Legal Compliance
The EMF Directive and CEMFAW Regulations require employers to assess EMF exposure and document compliance. A survey ensures you meet your statutory duties.
Employee Safety
EMF exposure can cause sensory effects and, at higher levels, health risks. Surveys help identify hazards and implement appropriate controls.
Risk Management
Accurate EMF data supports safety cases, insurance requirements, and internal audits.
Confidence for Workers with Medical Implants
Pacemakers, insulin pumps, and other implants can be affected by EMF. Surveys help define safe working distances and procedures.
How EMC Hire Conducts EMF Surveys
1. Site Assessment & EMF Source Identification
We review your equipment, processes, and working patterns to identify all relevant EMF sources.
2. RF / EMF Measurements
Using calibrated, industry standard instruments, we measure:
- Electric field strength
- Magnetic field strength
- Power density
- Broadband and narrowband emissions
- Frequency specific exposure levels
Measurements are taken at operator positions, access points, and any areas where staff may be exposed.
3. Comparison Against EMF Directive & CEMFAW Limits
We assess your results against:
- Low and high Action Levels (ALs)
- Exposure Limit Values (ELVs)
- HSE guidance and industry best practice
This ensures your compliance position is clear and defensible.
4. Detailed, Audit Ready Reporting
Your EMF survey report includes:
- EMF exposure maps
- Measurement tables and analysis
- Compliance status vs ALs and ELVs
- Identification of exceedances
- Recommended mitigation measures
- Photographs and site notes
Reports are written to satisfy HSE inspectors, internal safety teams, and external auditors.
