BASEXPO – Development of Exposure Assessment Methods Applicable in the Vicinity of Mobile Communication Base Stations

In 2003, European research groups from 6 different countries came together to coordinate work on the harmonization of measurement procedures for assessing RF exposure and testing compliance of installed base stations with the guidelines restricting human exposure to electromagnetic radiation. As response to the great desire from all parties to harmonize these procedures on an international level, the consortium launched a project within the European Research Program (EUREKA project: BASEXPO). The scientific outcome will elucidate the failure and uncertainty of common exposure assessment procedures, leading to the improvement of free space measurement techniques and protocols. The results will lead to harmonization of radiation monitoring activities at an international level. The outcome shall be transferred to standardization bodies for harmonization of evaluation guidelines for base stations. Project partners are: Chalmers University, University Ghent, University Thessaloniki, France Telecom R&D, AF Industri & Systems, IT IS, maxwave, BAKOM. The project is coordinated by Seibersdorf research.

Contract Sponsors: FFF, Vodafone UK, T-Mobile, Telering, 3G, One, Mobilkom, Land Oberösterreich
