Due to advancements in cellular technology and new antenna designs, Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) saw the need to have a source of reference to complement and reinforce the MS for EMF.
On December 29, 2017, MCMC issued the “Guideline on the Mandatory Standard for Electromagnetic Field Emission from Radiocommunications Infrastructure. It contains a detailed guidance on the procedures and methods to facilitate the Network Facility Provider (NFP)’s and Network Service Provider (NSP)’s compliance towards the MS for EMF.
This guideline defines procedures and methods to achieve compliance assessment and verification to supplement and reinforce the MS for EMF when a Radio Communication Infrastructure (RCI) is put into service. Mandatory Standard was published in the year 2010, referring to Recommendation ITU-T K.52 and K.61 as basis documents. The Guideline document will refer to the latest IEC 62232:2017 Standard as basis document but keeping the existing ITU references intact.
