2  Condition – compliance with electromagnetic energy standard
Condition – general case
 (1) A person must not operate an amateur station if the radiofrequency field produced by the station exceeds the reference levels for general public exposure at a place accessible to a member of the general public.
Measuring compliance with the condition
 (2) For the purposes of subclauses 3(3), 3(4) and 4(3):
 (a) if the station operates on a frequency in the frequency band 10 MHz to 30 MHz, only one of the following properties needs to be measured or calculated to show compliance with subclause (1) at places in the far field of the antenna:
 (i) incident electric field strength;
 (ii) incident magnetic field strength;
 (b) if the station operates on a frequency in the frequency band 30 MHz to 2 GHz, only one of the following properties needs to be measured or calculated to show compliance with subclause (1) at places in the far field of the antenna:
 (i) incident electric field strength;
 (ii) incident magnetic field strength;
 (iii) incident power density;
 (c) if the station operates on a frequency greater than 2 GHz, only the incident power density needs to be measured or calculated to show compliance with subclause (1) at places in the far field of the antenna.
 (3) In subclause (2), each of the following terms has the same meaning as in the ARPANSA standard:
 (a) incident electric field strength;
 (b) incident magnetic field strength;
 (c) incident power density.
Condition – simultaneous transmissions
 (4) A person must not operate an amateur station to transmit simultaneously on multiple frequencies, unless the station meets the requirements specified in section 3 (Simultaneous exposure to multiple frequency fields) of the ARPANSA standard.
