include both laboratory studies and studies of wireless device users. The CRADA will
also include a broad assessment of additional research needs in the context of the
latest research developments around the world.
7. How can I find out how much Radio Frequency energy exposure I can get
by using my tablet?
All tablets sold in the United States must comply with Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) guidelines that limit Radio Frequency (RF) energy exposures. The
FCC established these guidelines in consultation with the FDA and the other federal
health and safety agencies. The FCC limit for RF exposure from wireless devices 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 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
