SARS
The tests measure the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of mobile telephones. The SAR value
shows how much heat energy is absorbed in the head area from the mobile phone. The test is
designed to ensure that the maximum value of two watts per kilo as set in the Decree of the
Ministry of Social Affairs and Health is not exceeded. The SAR value, specifically, is measured in
the case of mobile phones because it is the best indicator of exposure of the user to radiation.
When the SAR value is not more than two watts per kilo, tissues are not heated significantly.
The manufacturer of a mobile telephone must ensure that the SAR value is below the permitted
limit before the model is brought onto the market.
Although there is no legal requirement for NU•M8 to be SARS tested and rated as it is not in close
proximity of the head we undertook the tests anyway. The SARS value of NU•M8, as tested by RFI
Global, is 0.038.
Dermatological
nu•m8 has undertaken rigorous dermatological testing to ensure that it is safe to be worn by
children. This testing was undertaken by Forefront research. In addition, each nu•m8 box has a
self adhesive 3M medical label for placement on the stainless steel back plate if your child has a
hypo-allergenic sensitivity to metal.
