Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
In both cases, the recommendations were developed by scientific and engineering
experts drawn from industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews of
the scientific literature related to the biological effects of RF energy.
The exposure limit for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR is a measure of the rate of
absorption of RF energy by the human body expressed in units of watts per kilogram
(W/kg). The FCC requires wireless phones to comply with a safety limit of 1.6 watts
per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates a substantial margin of
safety to give additional protection to the public and to account for any variations in
measurements.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC
with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency
bands. Although SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual
SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value.
Because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels to use only the
power required to reach the network, in general, the closer you are to a wireless base
station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and
certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government
adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and
locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each
model.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines.
