IEEE/IEC P63195-4 Assessment of Power Density of Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Fields Part 4

IEEE/IEC Draft International Standard - Assessment of Power Density of Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Fields from Wireless Devices in Close Proximity to the Head and Body (Frequency Range of 6 GHz to 300 GHz) Part 4: Computational Procedures for Absorbed Power Density

This document specifies computational procedures for conservative and reproducible computations of the absorbed power density (APD) or epithelial power density, which is a measure to quantify the dissipated electromagnetic power in the human head or body due to exposure to radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic field (EMF) transmitting devices. The computational procedures described are finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) and finite element methods (FEM), which are used to determine electromagnetic quantities by solving Maxwell's equations. The procedures specified here apply to exposure evaluations for the significant majority of the population during the use of hand-held and body-worn RF transmitting devices with known uncertainty. The methods apply to devices with single or multiple transmitters or antennas that operate with their radiating structure(s) at distances up to 200 mm from the human head or body. This document can be employed to evaluate compliance with applicable APD limits of different types of RF transmitting wireless communication devices used in close proximity to the head and body, with or without RF transmitting or non-transmitting accessories, or of devices embedded in garments. The overall applicable frequency range of the specified protocols and procedures is from 6 GHz to 300 GHz. The categories of wireless communication devices covered in this document include mobile telephones, radio transmitters in personal computers, desktop and laptop devices, and multi-band and multi-antenna devices. The procedures of this document do not apply to APD evaluation of electromagnetic fields emitted or altered by devices or objects intended to be implanted in the body.

1) To carry out a gap analysis on standards related to City Information Modelling and Urban Digital Twins;

2) To use the gap analysis to develop requirements for the standards needed for the implementation of City Information Modelling and Urban Digital Twins;

3) To develop those standards relating to City Information Modelling and Urban Digital Twins that are within its competence, including a reference architecture that takes into account the differing perspectives of City Information Modelling and Urban Digital Twins.



Note for information:

1 The Joint Working Group is not expected to develop many standards itself, but rather through a process of use case/case study collection, the development of an integrated reference architecture, and standards mapping, to identify the gaps in existing standards and support the relevant specialist technical committees to address these.

2 The reference architecture is intended to be coherent with ISO/IEC 42010 and the developing work on Smart Cities Reference Architecture (IEC 63205), the Digital Twin Reference Architecture (ISO/IEC 30188), the IoT Reference Architecture (ISO/IEC 30141 Ed2) and other relevant standards.

IEC 80601-2-78 ED2 Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-78

IEC 80601-2-78 ED2 Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-78: Particular requirements for basic safety and essential performance of medical robots for rehabilitation, assessment, compensation or alleviation. 

In the medium term, IEC 80601‑2‑78 Ed.2 will serve as the basis for a corresponding European standard that can be harmonised under the MDR. This will support European SMEs by providing a recognised and authoritative framework for demonstrating conformity. As a result, companies can reduce the time and cost associated with regulatory approval, improve the quality and consistency of their technical documentation, and accelerate their access to the European market

Impact on SMEs (8th Open Call)
Europe hosts a vibrant ecosystem of start-ups and SMEs developing rehabilitation robots - systems that support relearning functional movement after neurological injury or disease. Under the EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR), manufacturers must demonstrate compliance with the state of the art for safety and performance. For devices within scope, IEC 80601-2-78 has become the key benchmark for basic safety and essential performance of rehabilitation robots. Following publication of the first edition (2019), the joint working group initiated a second edition revision to incorporate early implementation feedback and advances in technology. As this revision progresses toward Committee Draft closure, small manufacturers can expect clearer, more practicable requirements, reducing ambiguity in design inputs, verification planning, and conformity assessment. In parallel, IEC 60601-4-1 (Technical Report) provides a shared framework to characterize and manage degrees of autonomy in medical electrical equipment and systems. current development practices with where general safety requirements are heading.
Overall, these initiatives close critical gaps for European SMEs by clarifying expectations around robotic and AI-enabled rehabilitation devices, helping them accelerate safe market access, contain compliance costs, and remain competitive across EU and global markets.
Impact on society (8th Open Call)
Rehabilitation robotics are among the earliest real-world uses of medical robots and have paved the way for broader adoption of robotics and AI in healthcare and daily living environments with vulnerable users. Clear, harmonised safety requirements and reproducible test methods
are essential - not only to protect patients and clinicians, but also to give manufacturers and providers the confidence to deploy these technologies responsibly. By codifying “state-of the-art” expectations, the standards framework enables innovation while safeguarding users.
Societal benefits enabled by robust standards include:
Patient safety and dignity: Defined limits, fail-safe behaviours, and human–robot interaction requirements reduce the risk of harm and ensure predictable performance in rehabilitation settings.
Healthcare access: Standardised safety/performance criteria help scale high-quality therapy beyond specialised centres, supporting adoption in regional hospitals and community care.
Clinician support and quality of care: Reliable, well-tested systems can deliver high-dose, repeatable training while reducing therapist physical strain, freeing time for complex clinical tasks.
Public trust and uptake: Transparent, consensus-based requirements underpin procurement, reimbursement, and clinical guidelines—building societal confidence in robotic care.
Innovation with accountability: Clear targets shorten development cycles, lower compliance ambiguity for SMEs, and focus competition on outcomes and usability rather than ad-hoc safety interpretations.
The degree-of-autonomy guidance further generalises these protections to any medical product using robotic or AI technologies. By providing a common language for autonomy levels and the associated safety controls and human oversight, it supports ethically aligned, trustworthy deployment of AI-enabled medical devices across care pathways, from clinics to homes.
