本标准建立了交流架空电力线工频电场和磁场测量以及这些测量中使用的仪表校准的统一程序。统一的程序是比较各种交流架空电力线电场和磁场的先决条件。这些程序适用于测量接近地面的电场和磁场。它们也可以暂时应用于带电导体或结构附近的电场测量，其局限性如3.5所述。

This standard establishes uniform procedures for the measurement of power frequency electric and magnetic fields from alternating current (ac) overhead power lines and for the calibration of the meters used in these measurements. A uniform procedure is a prerequisite to comparisons of electric and magnetic fields of various ac overhead power lines. These procedures apply to the measurement of electric and magnetic fields close to ground level. They can also be tentatively applied to electric field measurements near an energized conductor or structure with the limitations outlined in 3.5.
