Kavet to Co-Chair IEEE Subcommittee on Electromagnetic Safety
Dr. Rob Kavet has been appointed co-chair of an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) subcommittee charged with updating standards for exposure to electromagnetic fields.  As the result of a recent cooperation agreement between the IEEE Standards Association and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Standardisation Agency, the revised exposure standard will cover the full range of ELF–RF exposure from 0 Hz to 300 GHz and will be applicable worldwide in civilian and military settings.  For more information, contact Rob Kavet, (650) 855-1061, rkavet@epri.com.
