The ‘"orientation value’" referred to in point (f) of paragraph 1 corresponds to a field level where no adverse health effect or effect that may pose a safety risk should be noticed under normal working conditions and for persons not being part of a group at particular risk. As a consequence, the depth of the risk assessment procedure can be reduced to a minimum.
