Hello Everyone,

I was reading the IEEE C95.6 which is the "IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to
Electromagnetic Fields".

In the document they mention the max limit with respect to electromagnetic field exposures as shown below.

What I'm not clear on is we know the maximum allowable exposure but I'm not clear on how long this exposure is safe. I've scanned through the document and the only mention of time is above table 2 where they say "Averaging Time"

I cant imagine that this means the max exposure time is 0.2 seconds.

Anyone out there know if somewhere in the standard the maximum exposure time is clarified?
