🇹🇭 Thailand's NBTC drafts new RF exposure safety standards aligned with ICNIRP 2020; hearing runs to 14 September
The Indonesian type-approval consultancy Dimulti reports that Thailand's National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) has published draft radiation exposure safety standards for radiocommunication equipment, with a public hearing open from 15 July to 14 September 2026. The draft aligns the national limits with the ICNIRP 2020 guidelines, widens the covered frequency range from 9 kHz down to 8.3 kHz, and adds limits for exposure from multiple simultaneous sources. It also adopts the IEC/IEEE 63195-1 power-density measurement standard for 5G and 6G frequencies and replaces several superseded IEC and IEEE test standards. The revision follows an NBTC meeting in November 2025 that approved the changes.
Note: Report by an Indonesian type-approval consultancy.
"Because direct electromagnetic radiation is a hazard, NBTC intends to revise its radiation exposure safety standards to align with the latest internationally recognized version, ICNIRP 2020. Therefore, the feedback to the draft standards can be submitted during its public hearing from 15 July 2026 until 14 September 2026."

"Add whole-body and localized exposure limits for electromagnetic waves and electric fields from multiple simultaneous sources within frequency range 100 kHz – <300 GHz, in accordance with the ICNIRP 2020 standard."
— NBTC draft standard, as summarised by Dimulti
"Adopt the IEC/IEEE 63195-1 (2022), as it supports high-frequency technologies in the 5G/6G era by providing systematic guidelines for measuring power density that align with ICNIRP 2020 and other international standards."
