Fact Sheets NIR provide scientific information on appliances emitting non-ionising radiation such as UV devices, lasers, microwave ovens, and electromagnetic fields. They address health risks, safety guidelines, legal regulations, and exposure mitigation to ensure informed use and protection.
Electric floor heating systems can produce very small or, in some cases, considerable magnetic fields — depending on how they are installed in the floor. Unfortunately, it is usually unclear how the heating coils were laid by the installation companies during construction. The fact sheet provides information on the different installation methods and the magnitude of the magnetic fields. It also offers tips on how to reduce exposure to these fields. The best approach is to operate the heating before your children or you enter the heated rooms.
