Library Security Pedestal 3
12/68 Revision 2.1 December 2009
2 Certification
2.1 Occupational Health
TAGSYS L-SP3 EAS System has been designed and tested to be in conformity with the
European Standard EN 50364 “Limitation of human exposure to electromagnetic fields from
devices used in Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and
similar applications” in conjunction with the European Standard EN 50357 describing how to
evaluate the exposure level.
2.1.1 Public Exposure
The Library RFID pedestals are designed assuming that patrons cross the detection area within a
couple of seconds on their way in and out of the Library at a normal walking pace. General public
should not stand in the detection area for more than 10 to 20 seconds.
2.1.2 Employees Exposure
The operators are located apart from the principal detection zone and as a matter of fact,
not subject to exposure.
(Please see section 4.3.2 “Placement of Pedestals”)
2.2 Safety Notices
The L-SP3 has been tested to be in conformity with the EN standard 60950-1: “Information
Technology Equipment Safety”
It is the responsibility of the CIT (Certified Integrators by TAGSYS) to install the L-SP3 as
described in TAGSYS Product Manuals or TAGSYS Documentation.
Modification of any TAGSYS Library System is prohibited without the written consent of TAGSYS.
Unauthorized modifications may void the conformity of the equipment to safety specifications and
will void the TAGSYS warranty.
2.3 Regulatory Notices
An RFID system typically composed of an RF emission device such as the L-SP3 connected
to an antenna is subject to national regulations that may differ by country.
One important item to consider is the maximum permissible magnetic field intensity at a distance of
10 meters from the antenna that must not exceed 60dBµA/m in Europe and 38dBµA/m in US.
The L-SP3 meets these limits.
Librarian should make sure that nobody stands still in the Gate
Detection Area in between two RFID Pedestals to avoid unnecessary
prolonged Exposure to Electromagnetic Field.
For servicing operations it is recommended to deactivate the RFID
system.
