Visible page points used in the PBC source-check:

- Safety Code 6 sets recommended safety limits for human exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields from 3 kHz to 300 GHz.
- The page explicitly lists Wi-Fi, cell phones, smart meters and 5G among technologies in this RF-EMF range.
- Health Canada says the limits are not device-specific and are intended to protect against all established adverse health effects related to RF EMF, no matter the source.
- Health Canada says the limits incorporate large safety margins and provide protection for people of all ages and sizes from exposure to all forms of RF EMF on a continuous 24/7 basis.
- Health Canada says Safety Code 6 uses an ongoing review of peer-reviewed scientific studies and a weight-of-evidence approach.
- The browser-visible page included sections on scientifically established health effects, thermal and non-thermal effects, and how Safety Code 6 protects from RF EMF.
