title: Developing safety standards for electromagnetic energy: the IEEE International Committee on Electromagnetic Safety (ICES).
abstract: ICES develops (1) standards for the safe use of electromagnetic energy in the range of 0 Hz to 300 GHz relative to the potential hazards of exposure to humans, volatile materials, and explosive devices, (2) standards for products that emit electromagnetic energy by design or as a by-product of their operation, and (3) standards for environmental limits. ICES history, goals, organization, leadership, and products are described.
