Glossary In 1991, the Swedish Tjänstemannens Central Organization (TCO, Swedish confederation of Professional Employees ) set a standard even more severe than MPR-II, especially for alternating electric fields (AEF). The TCO standard is more severe since not only are the permitted field levels reduced compared with MPR-II, but the measuring distance is also reduced (see table). Electromagnetic radiation standards EMI (Electrical Magnetic Interference) The electrical and/or magnetic radiation coming from the working electrical or electronic equipment. EMS (Electrical Magnetic Sustainment) The ability of electrical or electronic equipment to function properly in the environment with electrical and/or magnetic interference. RETURN TO TOP OF THE PAGE F Flicker Very rapid variations in picture intensity caused by the finite time required for the electron beam to scan a picture onto the screen. Two kinds of flicker occur: line flicker caused by the electron beam scanning-in each line of the picture; and frame flicker (or field flicker if the picture is interlaced) caused by the frame repetition rate of 50 frames/second. Frame flicker is noticeable with GUI and DTP software (which have a light background), and can be very disturbing, especially for those who work regularly with displays - contributing to eye strain, headaches, visual blurring, stress, etc. The problem can, however, be eliminated by increasing the refresh rate (number of frames/second) of the monitor to a value above around 70 Hz. Sensitivity to flicker appears to diminish with increasing age.

Flicker
Very rapid variations in picture intensity caused by the finite time required for the electron beam to scan a
picture onto the screen. Two kinds of flicker occur: line flicker caused by the electron beam scanning-in each
line of the picture; and frame flicker (or field flicker if the picture is interlaced) caused by the frame repetition
rate of 50 frames/second. Frame flicker is noticeable with GUI and DTP software (which have a light
background), and can be very disturbing, especially for those who work regularly with displays - contributing
to eye strain, headaches, visual blurring, stress, etc. The problem can, however, be eliminated by increasing
the refresh rate (number of frames/second) of the monitor to a value above around 70 Hz. Sensitivity to
