This instruction outlines the responsibilities, policies, and structure of the Air Force EMF Occupational Health program. It implements the provisions of Department of Defense Instruction (DODI) 6055.11, Protecting Personnel from Electromagnetic Fields, or latest version thereof, which requires compliance with all applicable Federal, ANSI, and IEEE standards.
This instruction applies to all Air Force military members (including the Reserve and National Guard), Department of the Air Force civilian employees (including foreign nationals) and to all sources of EMF owned or operated by the US Air Force, or under Air Force control. Overseas Air Force installations to include deployed locations will comply with this instruction or the requirements established by the Status of Forces Agreement, whichever is more stringent. Policies and procedures specific to Directed Energy Weapons (DEW) are not covered by this instruction but are provided in AFI 91-401, Directed Energy Weapons Safety. This instruction excludes optical and laser radiation frequencies, standards and reporting which are covered by AFI 48-139, Laser and Optical Radiation Protection Program.
This document is substantially revised to accommodate insertion of tiering resulting from changes to the inspection process outlined in AFI 90-201, The Air Force Inspection System, and must be completely reviewed. Tiering is designated with a “(T-x)”, where x ranges from 0 to 3
Publications state their own changes on page 1 — behind a PDF the official host will not serve to a search engine. This is that section, verbatim. It describes the edition above, not every historical change.

3 publications in 2 other communities depend on this one, which Aerospace Medicine owns. Each community inspects its own publications; a dependency that crosses communities is owned by nobody, which is why this list normally does not exist anywhere. Built from the publications' own citations, so it reflects what we have read.
If AFI 48-109 changes, these are the documents that point at it. Extracted from the publications' own text, so it reflects what we have read, not a complete dependency map. Every publishing office validates its own document; nobody validates the seams between them.
Records in this branch carrying the same series and number — interim changes, guidance memoranda, and unit supplements. A copy stamped with one of these is a different document from the base publication.
