EC’s Scientific Committee on Health, Environmental and Emerging Risks (SCHEER), “Opinion on the Need of a Revision of the Annexes in the Council Recommendation 1999/519/EC and Directive 2013/35/EU, in View of the Latest Scientific Evidence Available with regard to RF (100kHz - 300GHz),” released June 14, 2023. SCHEER reaffirms use of ICNIRP limits. Effectively rejects NTP, Ramazzini and Lerchl animal studies. Sees no need to protect public & workers from possible long-term effects of RF.
