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 RF exposure limit set by the FCC for
wireless mobile phones employs a unit
of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate (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 SAR limit incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection to the public and to
account for any variations in
measurements.
SAR tests are conducted using standard
operating positions accepted by the FCC
with the phone transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. Although the SAR is
determined at the highest certified
power level, the actual SAR level of the
phone while operating can be well below
