ABSTRACT
The electronic-radiation control program, administered by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), covers any product that emits ionizing or nonionizing electromagnetic or particulate radiation, and products that emit sonic, infrasonic, or ultrasonic radiation as the result of operation of an electronic circuit. Radiation-emitting devices include those products that emit radiation either by design (e.g., X-ray equipment) or as a consequence of operation (e.g., television sets). Section 358 of the RCHSA authorizes the development of federal standards for these types of products. These standards are contained in the Code of Federal Regulations, 21 CFR Subchapter J-Radiological Health.
