Interesting that the State of Minnesota says no such standard exists:

for magnetic fields. This is due to the fact that there is inadequate=20
scientific evidence to develop a health-based standard. References to=20
safe/unsafe magnetic field levels in studies are not health-based=20
standards; they are arbitrary exposure cut off points used by=20
researchers, and they provide no scientific basis to evaluate or=20
estimate potential health risks.
While there is currently no "safe" level determined for EMF, people may=20
obtain measurements in their home and use information about typical=20
magnetic field exposures to determine if their exposures are likely to=20
be higher than, comparable to, or lower than the levels in other=20
residential settings."
