Twenty-sixth Ordinance for the implementation of the Federal Immission Control Act (regulation on electromagnetic fields - 26 BImSchV) 26 BImSchV Ausfertigung date: 16.12.1996 full quotation: "regulation on electromagnetic fields in the version of the notice from 14 August 2013 (Gazette I p. 3266)" stand: Neugefasst by BEK. v. 14.8.2013 3266 for more information on the stand number you find in the menu see remarks footnote (+++ text detection from: 1 1.1997 +++) § 1 scope of application (1) this Regulation applies to the construction and operation of high frequency, low frequency and DC installations referred to in paragraph 2. It contains requirements for the protection of the public and the neighbourhood against harmful environmental influences and to the prevention of adverse environmental impacts by electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields. The regulation takes account of the effects of electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields on electrically or electronically operated implants.
(2) for the purposes of this Regulation: 1. high-frequency equipment: fixed installations, which generate electromagnetic fields in the frequency range from 9 kHz to 300 GHz, are plants that produce broadband electromagnetic pulses and of national defence 2. low frequency systems are used,: fixed installations for transformation and transmission of electricity with a nominal voltage of 1 000 v or more, including Bahnstromfern - and overhead rail power lines and other comparable systems in the frequency range 1 Hz to 9 kHz , 3. direct line: fixed installations for propagation, wrapping and change direction, including buttons, by direct current with a voltage of 2 000 volts or more.
High-frequency equipment (1) to protect against adverse environmental impacts are section 2 to construct high-frequency with an equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) of 10 Watts or more and to run, that in their sphere of influence in places, for permanent or temporary residence of people definitely are at highest operating system load 1 in annex 1a and 1B specific limits for the respective frequency range under consideration of emissions by other fixed equipment of high-frequency and low-frequency installations listed in annex 2 are not exceeded and 2. for pulsed electromagnetic fields are observed in addition the criteria laid down in annex 3.
The same is true for a high frequency system with an equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) of less than 10 Watts, if this site in accordance with § 2 number 3 of the Ordinance on the detection methods to limit electromagnetic fields of 20 August 2002 (BGBl. I S. 3366), most recently by article 3 paragraph 20 of the Act of July 7, 2005 (BGBl. I S. 1970) has been modified , will be built in the current version, with an equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) of existing RF systems (total radiated power) of 10 Watts or more, or if through this the total radiated power of 10 Watts is met or exceeded. Sentence 2 shall not apply for RF systems, which have an equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) of 100 milliwatts or less.
(2) short-term exceedances of pursuant to paragraph 1 sentence 1 No. 1, also in conjunction with paragraph 1 sentence 2, to these limits due to a temporary danger for public safety and order or to protect of the safety of the State remain unconsidered.
§ 3 low-frequency equipment (1) to protect against adverse environmental impacts are low frequency systems that have been built before August 22, 2013, to operate, that they do not exceed the limit values laid down in annex 1a within their sphere of influence in places that are intended to not only a temporary stay of people at highest operating asset utilization, where low-frequency equipment shall not exceed half of the limit listed in annex 1a of the magnetic flux density at a frequency of 50 Hertz. Stay, where not in each case sufficient evidence for nuisances caused particularly by touch voltages exist, which are unreasonable, short out of account 1 overruns of the limit pursuant to sentence 1 in conjunction with annex 1a to not more than 100% with a duration of not more than 5 per cent of an assessment period of a day type, extent or duration for the neighborhood and 2. small-scale overruns the limit values of the electric field strength pursuant to sentence 1 in conjunction with annex 1a to not more than 100 per cent outside of buildings.
(2) the protection against adverse environmental impacts are low frequency systems, which built the 22 August 2013 are to build and operate, that they do not exceed the limit values laid down in annex 1a at highest operating system load within their sphere of influence in places that are intended to not only a temporary stay of people, where low-frequency equipment shall not exceed half of the limit listed in annex 1a of the magnetic flux density at a frequency of 50 Hertz. Existing permits and zoning decisions remain unaffected.
(3) when calculating the electric field strength and magnetic flux density according to paragraph 1 and paragraph 2, all emissions are taken into account by other low frequency systems as well as in accordance with Annex 2a resulting from fixed radio frequency systems with frequencies between 9 kHz and 10 megahertz, which a site certificate require according to sections 4 and 5 of regulation the detection methods to limit electromagnetic fields.
(4) effects such as spark discharges between people and conductive objects should be avoided, if they can lead to significant disturbance or damage.
DC power systems § 3a DC power systems to protect against adverse environmental impacts are to build and operate, that within their sphere of influence in places which are intended for permanent or temporary residence of people at highest operating system load 1 of referred to in annex 1a of the magnetic flux density limit, and effects such as spark discharges between persons and conductive objects cause significant disturbance or damage can result in 2. , be avoided.
All relevant emissions are taken into account.
§ May only be done a significant change 4 requirements for provision (1) for the purpose of interest of low frequency systems close by apartments, hospitals, schools, kindergartens, children hoarding, playgrounds or similar establishments, if these buildings or on this land by way of derogation from article 3, paragraph 1, sentence 2 the maximum RMS values of electric field strength and magnetic flux density meet the requirements according to § 3, paragraph 1, sentence 1. For low-frequency systems that were built or significantly modified after December 16, 1996, the precautionary requirements of the Ordinance on electromagnetic fields in the version of 16 December 1996 on shall continue to apply.
(2) when installing and significant modification of low frequency systems as well as power plants are to exploit the possibilities, according to the State of the art, taking into account circumstances in the sphere of influence to minimize the electrical, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields emitted by the relevant appendix. The further lays down an administrative provisions in accordance with section 48 of the Federal Immission Control Act.
(3) low-frequency equipment for the transmission of electricity with a frequency of 50 Hz and a voltage of 220 kilovolts, and more being built in a new alignment, may not span buildings or parts of buildings, which are designed for the permanent stay of people. Existing permits and zoning decisions and planning - requested by 22 August 2013 and plan approval procedure, for which there was a complete application at this time, remain unaffected.
Article 5 calculation of field intensity and flux density values measuring instruments, measurement and calculation methods used in determining the electric and magnetic field strength and magnetic flux density including consideration of existing emissions, comply with the State of measurement and calculation technology. If applicable the measuring and calculation procedures of the DIN EN 50413 (August 2009 Edition) to be entered, which is laid down in terms of archive secured the VDE-Verlag GmbH or the Beuth Verlag GmbH, both Berlin, obtaining and the German patent and Trademark Office. Measurements are to the under §§ 2, 3 or 3a perform relevant exposure to places with the respectively highest exposure. You are not required, if the compliance with the limit values can be determined by calculation.
§ 6 additional requirements additional requirements on the basis of other legislation, in particular legislation relating to electromagnetic compatibility and telecommunications law, remain unaffected.
