(B) In the event of scan failure or other failure in the normal parameters of the scanning operation causing a change in angular velocity, amplitude duration, or rate of exposure, no radiofrequency machine which emits scanned radiofrequency radiation in areas accessible to the public shall be operated without protective measures to prevent exposure in excess of the radiofrequency exposure limits listed in 105 CMR 122.015: Table I.

f = frequency in megahertz (MHz) V = voltage in volts A = current in amperes m = length in meters 2 cm = area in square centimeters mW = power in milliwatts
For mixed or broadband fields consisting of a number of frequencies for which different Radiofrequency Protection Guides are listed in 105 CMR 122.015: Table I, the fraction of the Radiofrequency Exposure Limits incurred within each frequency interval shall be determined, and the sum of all such fractions shall not exceed unity.
