locating the FCC identification number on your
phone so you can find your phone’s RF
exposure level in the online listing.
What has FDA done to measure the radio
frequency energy coming from wireless
phones?
The Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineers (IEEE) is developing a technical
standard for measuring the radio frequency
energy (RF) exposure from wireless phones and
other wireless hand sets 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
measurements made at different laboratories
on the same phone. 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
