All, There will be a Northeast Product Safety Society meeting next Wednesday, January 25th, at EMC Corporation's Conference Room 1-2 (Building A, 1st floor) at 228 South Street in Hopkinton, MA. A social hour with light refreshments will begin at 7:00 PM and the technical meeting will start at 7:30 PM. David Seabury, Senior Project Manager for ETS-Lindgren, will present this month’s topic concerning RF exposure standards under FCC OET65 and OSHA Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits. If you will be in the area, please feel free to join us as advanced notice or membership in NPSS or IEEE PSES is not required.
Mr. Seabury joined ETS-Lindgren in 2003 as a Senior Business Development Manager with primary focus on SAR and RF Health and Safety products. He is currently a member of SCC34 SC2 and is on the US TAG to IEC TC106 WG4 (IEEE STD 1528 and IEC 62209), and the CTIA Audio WG on HAC testing procedures. David recently took over as Senior Product Manager for EME Measurement Devices for ETS-Lindgren. Mr. Seabury was formerly with RFL Industries for 19 years as a designer and manufacturer of instrumentation and communication products and systems and became President of RFL Industries in 1984. In 1990, he formed the IBEX Group, a supplier and integrator of anechoic chambers and EMC test systems which built the first all ferrite 3m Chamber in the US to be filed with the FCC. He also formed Chase Systems (CSI), which was the North American distributor for W&G RF Safety Products. CSI provided survey meters and personal protection equipment for the then newly enacted FCC requirements and added SAR Assessment Systems in 1991 Mr. Seabury’s presentation will take a quick look at the background of radio frequency (RF) exposure standards leading up to the FCC enactment of current requirements generally contained under OET65. The OSHA relationship for Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits will be explained along with its implication to non-license holders. The overall MPE FCC requirements will be summarized and typical equipment requirements will be presented. The talk will include a brief mention of the new IEC base station standards work, the FCC OET65 Supplement C 01-01 for SAR and the broadened scope of FCC review including new technologies and products. Implications will be explored of the new IEEE STD 1528:2003, the harmonized IEC 62209 and the future work of 62209 Part II, and how they will impact the FCC requirements. The talk will conclude with a brief overview of typical SAR equipment and procedures. If you or anyone you know would like to give a product safety technical presentation, please contact Paul Smith, our meeting scheduler, by email at pauljsmi...@cs.com. A technical presentation should be 45 to 60 minutes in duration and be related to product safety. Although the presentation may reference your company and it’s services, the presentation must not be simply company advertising. We would also appreciate any slides or handout materials be made available for posting on the NPSS web site. Releasing presentation materials for posting is desired but not a requirement to make a presentation. The 2006 NPSS meeting schedule is available on the NPSS website at http://www.nepss.org/meetings/NPSS_2006-7_Calendar.html.
