the safety standards developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineering (IEEE) and the National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurement. The exposure limit takes into consideration the body's ability
to remove heat from the tissues that absorb energy from the tablet and is
set well below levels known to have effects. Manufacturers of tablets must
report the RF exposure level for each model of tablet to the FCC. The FCC
website (http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) gives directions for locating the
FCC identification number on your tablet so you can find your tablet's RF
exposure level in the online listing.
8. What has the FDA done to measure the Radio Frequency
energy coming from tablets?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is developing
a technical standard for measuring the Radio Frequency (RF) energy
exposure from tablets and other wireless handsets with the participation and
leadership of FDA scientists and engineers. The standard, "Recommended
Practice for Determining the Spatial-Peak Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
in the Human Body Due to Wireless Communications Devices: Experimental
Techniques", sets forth the first consistent test methodology for measuring
the rate at which RF is deposited in the heads and bodies of tablet users.
The test method uses a tissue-simulating model of the human head and
body. Standardized SAR test methodology is expected to greatly improve
the consistency of measurements made at different laboratories on the
same tablet. SAR is the measurement of the amount of energy absorbed in
tissue, either by the whole body or a small part of the body. It is measured in
watts/kg (or milliwatts/g) of matter. This measurement is used to determine
whether a tablet complies with safety guidelines.
