Introduction: 

Home electric appliances generate magnetic fields at various frequencies. According to the measurement procedures described in the IEC standard 62233, the Association for Electric Home Appliances in Japan (AEHA, 2013) published the measurement results of magnetic flux density generated by the appliances at several frequencies, not the actual measured values but the proportional values to the reference levels for the general public recommended by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP, 2010). As it is difficult for lay people to understand the implication of proportional values, we have been frequently asked to show actual measured values. In order to respond the request, we conducted measurements at more than one frequency generated by the latest devices.
