Electromagnetic Field Testing and Reporting to IEC 61786

We provide professional electromagnetic field (EMF) scanning and assessment services performed in accordance with IEC 61786 – Measurement of DC, AC, and transient electric and magnetic fields for human exposure. Our service is designed to evaluate EMF levels in industrial, commercial, utility, and mining environments to support workplace safety, regulatory compliance, and risk management.

​

Electromagnetic fields are produced by energized electrical equipment including power distribution systems, transformers, switchgear, overhead and underground power lines, motor control centers, and large industrial machinery. Our EMF scanning service identifies and quantifies these fields to determine potential exposure risks to personnel, including individuals with medical devices such as pacemakers.

​

Our EMF Scanning Process

We use calibrated, industry-approved EMF measurement instrumentation capable of accurately measuring power-frequency electric and magnetic fields. Measurements are conducted following standardized IEC 61786 to ensure consistency, repeatability, and defensible results.

During site assessments, we:

  • Identify potential EMF sources within the facility

  • Perform area and task-based EMF measurements

  • Evaluate worker access zones and occupancy conditions

  • Measure both electric and magnetic field strengths

  • Assess exposure levels during normal operating conditions

  • Document environmental and operational factors that may influence readings

Testing may be performed in substations, processing facilities, mines, manufacturing plants, healthcare environments, or other locations where EMF exposure evaluation is required.

EMF Assessment and Exposure Evaluation

Collected data is analyzed against applicable exposure guidelines and recognized occupational health recommendations. Our assessments help organizations understand EMF levels within their facilities and determine whether mitigation strategies or administrative controls are recommended.

Our services can assist with:

  • Workplace hazard assessments

  • Employee safety evaluations

  • Accommodation assessments for workers with medical implants

  • Due diligence and risk management documentation

  • Verification of EMF conditions following equipment installation or modification
