What is PD IEC/TS 62997 - Industrial electroheating and electromagnetic processing equipment about?

PD IEC/TS 62997 discusses industrial electroheating and electromagnetic processing equipment.  PD IEC/TS 62997 specifies the characteristics of external magnetic nearfields, computations of and requirements on induced electric fields in body tissues in the frequency range from 1 Hz to 6 MHz with respect to induced electric shock phenomena, for electroheating (EH) based treatment technologies and for electromagnetic processing of materials (EPM). The phenomena include specific absorption rates with time integration. Induced electric shock phenomena dealt with in PD IEC/TS 62997 are caused by the alternating magnetic nearfield external to a current-carrying conductor or permeable object, inducing an electric field in a part of the body in the vicinity of the conductor. Note: The overall safety requirements for the various types of equipment and installations for electroheating or electromagnetic processing in general result from the joint application of the General Requirements specified in and Particular Requirements covering specific types of installations or equipment. PD IEC/TS 62997 complements the General Requirements and applies to internal frequency converters for creating high or low DC voltages, and to processing frequencies .
