in consultation with the FDA and the other federal
health and safety agencies. The FCC limit for RF
exposure from wireless telephones is set at a Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6
W/kg). The FCC limit is consistent with 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 wireless phone and is set well
below levels known to have effects. Manufacturers of
wireless phones must report the RF exposure level for
each model of phone to the FCC. The FCC website
(http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) gives directions
for locating the FCC identification number on your
phone so you can find your phone's RF exposure
level in the online listing.
8. What has the FDA done to measure the
radiofrequency energy coming from wireless
phones?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) is developing a technical standard for
measuring the radiofrequency energy (RF) exposure
from wireless phones 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 of wireless phone users. The
test method uses a tissue simulating model of the
human head. Standardized SAR test methodology
is expected to greatly improve the consistency of
