Reviews of the published scientific literature

These set out the science base and provide ICNIRP’s interpretations of the results of the science in respect of understanding effects on human health. In the past such reviews were published in the WHO Health Criteria Documents Series.  They are now published as ICNIRP stand-alone publications.

Exposure Guidelines

These are based on reviews of the science, they summarise scientific results and set out the basis for limiting exposure and recommend  exposure limits.  ICNIRP Exposure Guidelines are published in the Journal "Health Physics".

Statements

These provide information and advice on specific topics of non-ionizing radiation protection and/or radiation protection issues related to specific devices or exposure situations.  ICNIRP Statements are also published in "Health Physics".

Occupational Practical Guides

These are produced by ICNIRP and address specific topics on occupational exposure to non-ionizing radiation. They are published by the International Labour Office in its "Occupational Safety and Health Series".

General Documents

These are documents setting out general policy issues such as the basis for exposure guidelines and reviews of the science.  These may also be published in "Health Physics" or as separate ICNIRP publications.

Proceedings

These are publications resulting from scientific seminars, workshops and conferences organised by ICNIRP and/or its partner organizations in non-ionizing radiation protection.  Proceedings are published either in special editions of scientific journals or as separate ICNIRP publications.
