Sažetak
This paper gives an overview of the regulatory acts in non-ionising radiation in the world, with a special emphasis on basic guidelines issued by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection. ICNIRP Guidelines are implemented in many countries worldwide. Croatia has also implemented them indirectly through the European Recommendation 1999/519/EC. The Croatian legislative acts are the Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection Act, Ordinance on Electromagnetic Fields Protection, and the Ordinance on Basic Requirements for Devices which produce Optical Radiation and Measures for Optical Radiation Protection. The dosimetry and densitometry parts of the Croatian legislative act are referring to the relevant international and European standards. The paper presents an example of densitometric human exposure assessment in the complex indoor exposure conditions. In spite of a high number of the indoor and outdoor sources and the “ worst-case exposure assessment” , results are very much compliant to the Croatian EMF Ordinance.
