Delay to Physical Agents (EMF) Directive

01/10/2007

The EMF Physical Agents Directive was passed in Europe in 2004, and National Governments had until 2008 to bring it into national law. However, in October 2007, the European Commission announced a four-year delay. The intention is not just to delay the existing Directive but to use the extra time to rewrite it with different limits. This has been prompted largely by the realisation that the existing limits would restrict continued operation of MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging).
