Radío Frequency (RF) Emissions
a
Notice: All personal computers generate digital timing pulses at
frequencies within the RF range, and consequently may emit minute
levels of stray EMF energy in the RF range.
As a result, all desktop PCs have been certified by the US Federal
Communications Commission (FCC), by Industry Canada Requirements
(ICES: Interference-Causing Equipment Standards) and by European
Regulations and Standards (VDE, et al.) as being "Class B" digital devices.
("Class B" digital devices are authorised for use in residential
environments and are not permitted to intentionally emit RF energy.
Nevertheless, they are permitted to unintentionally emit low levels of RF
energy, as a result of the generation of digital timing pulses by their
clock oscillator circuits.)
The allowable levels of RF energy that may be emitted by Toshiba
desktop PCs are severely limited in their intensity by existing FCC
Regulations, (47 CFR Section 15.109(a)), and by ICES and European
Standards (EN55022) to prevent interference with reception on nearby
radio and T.V. receivers.
Toshiba desktop PCs have therefore been equipped with internal
shielding, to significantly reduce stray emissions of RF energy.
Because FCC Regulations and ICES and European Standards for "Class B"
digital devices severely limit the levels of RF energy that may be emitted
by a Toshiba desktop PC, the resulting emissions also fall well within the
allowable limits that have been adopted by OSHA in 29 CFR Section
1910.97, and that have been adopted by the promulgators of all other
known regulations and standards that relate to the emission of EMF
energy in the RF range.
Consequently, the minute levels of EMF energy in the RF range that are
emitted by Toshiba desktop PCs comply with all existing regulations and
standards, and pose no known health hazards to human beings.
Avoidance of Exposure to Emissions of Ionising Energy
in the X-Ray Frequency Range
Toshiba CRT monitors use a cathode ray tube monitor screen and are
therefore an emissive device. They consequently are a generator of some
ionising energy in the x-ray frequency range, as are all CRT monitors.
Most of that energy is absorbed by the glass envelope of the CRT and is
consequently not emitted.
The allowable levels of ionising energy that may be emitted by CRT
monitors are severely limited in their intensity by existing Federal Food
and Drug Administration Regulations. Toshiba CRT monitors have
therefore been designed to further suppress the emission of stray ionising
energy in the x-ray frequency range, in compliance with 21 CFR
Part 1000.
The minute levels of ionising energy in the x-ray frequency range that
are in fact emitted by a Toshiba CRT monitor unit fall off rapidly with
distance and pose no known health hazards to human beings.
