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 tissuesimulating
model of the human head.
Standardized SAR test methodology
is expected to greatly improve
the consistency of measurements
