AS/NZS 5070.1:2008
Siting and operation of radiocommunications facilities - General guidelines for fixed, mobile and broadcasting facilities including fixed location satellite earth stations independent of the operating frequency
Recommends good practice for, and sets out desirable outcomes in, the planning, locating, constructing, commissioning, operating and decommissioning of radiocommunications sites. It addresses particularly the sharing of radiocommunications sites and the management of sites to achieve compliance with electromagnetic radiation human exposure limits set by other standards.
