DREP

French to English Tech/Engineering Telecom(munications) Radiation
This stands for "Danger aux Rayonnements Electromagnétiques
sur les Personnes". I'm after the accepted EN acronym, if there is one.
Context: Specification covering hand-held equipment which can emit anything from HF radio signals to laser light.
Unconnected with the single existing ProZ term search acronym.
Proposed translations (English)

Mobile phone base stations : discussion

[too many antennae, too little epidemiology, no assurances of safety are possible] Mobile phone base stations should perhaps be regarded as a source of environmental pollution. We do mean pollution, as an addition to the environment of contaminants with harmful consequences, where action is required to eliminate or reduce the impact. The history of industrial development is underlined by invention, a period of dirty expansion, objection and finally, clear-up. The problem with Non-ionising electromagnetic radiation (NIEMR) or electromagnetic fields (EMF) is that the very means of operation is inherently a pollutant; take away the radiation and you have no product. The questions are, then:

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks, Liz, for your valuable input. I spent more time than I care to think reading your links, and NIEMR seems to be the one. It's gone in, anyway."

RadHaz

Charles, I've come across this term in the UK, and if I remember rightly, it was indeed in connection with ELECTROMAGNETIC radiation (i.e. not ionizing radition / radioactivity).

But I don't know if it's the exact equivalent term for what you need.

Anyway, maybe that will give you a research trail to follow...

That's what I'm not sure of, Charles. Cetainly, the context in which I've encountered it was measurement of e/m radiation and / or the dangers thereof; but nothing to indicate that it specifically EXCLUDED ionizing radiation either.
Note from asker:
Thanks for your input, Tony. I suspect RadHaz is just descriptive in general (certainly here it's not ionising here).
