IEC 62110:2009建立了交流电力系统产生的电场和磁场水平的测量程序，以评估人体对这些磁场的暴露水平。本标准不适用于直流输电系统。IEC 62110:2009适用于家庭环境和公众可接触区域的公众暴露。它规定了测量场的基本程序，并就人体暴露而言，规定了获得与整个人体的空间平均值相对应的场值的基本程序。IEC 62110:2009不适用于与电力系统运行和/或维护相关的职业暴露。在配电或输电变电站、发电厂、地下电缆检修孔或隧道内，或在架空线路塔或杆塔上工作时，可能会发生此类暴露。

IEC 62110:2009 establishes measurement procedures for electric and magnetic field levels generated by AC power systems to evaluate the exposure levels of the human body to these fields. This standard is not applicable to DC power transmission systems. IEC 62110:2009 is applicable to public exposure in the domestic environment and in areas accessible to the public. It specifies fundamental procedures for the measurement of fields, and, with regard to human exposure, for obtaining a field value that corresponds to a spatial average over the entire human body. IEC 62110:2009 is not applicable to occupational exposure associated with, for example, the operation and/or maintenance of the power systems. Such exposure may occur when working inside a distribution or transmission substation, a power plant, in a manhole or a tunnel for underground cables, or on an overhead line tower or pole.
