5.2 SAR requirements specific to portable mobiles 32

5.2 SAR requirements specific to portable mobiles

Mobile phones, PDAs or other portable transmitters and receivers incorporating a GSM

module must be in accordance with the guidelines for human exposure to radio frequency

energy. This requires the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of portable EHS6-A based

applications to be evaluated and approved for compliance with national and/or international

regulations.

Since the SAR value varies significantly with the individual product design manufacturers are

advised to submit their product for approval if designed for portable use. For European and

USmarkets the relevant directives are mentioned below. It is the responsibility of the

manufacturer of the final product to verify whether or not further standards, recommendations

or directives are in force outside these areas.

Products intended for sale on US markets

ES 59005/ANSI C95.1 Considerations for evaluation of human exposure to Electromagnetic

Fields (EMFs) from Mobile Telecommunication Equipment (MTE) in the

frequency range 30MHz - 6GHz

Products intended for sale on European markets

EN 50360 Product standard to demonstrate the compliance of mobile phones with the basic

restrictions related to human exposure to electromagnetic fields

(300MHz - 3GHz)

Please note that SAR requirements are specific only for portable devices and not for mobile

devices as defined below:

• Portable device:

A portable device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used so that the

radiating structure(s) of the device is/are within 20 centimeters of the body of the user.

• Mobile device:

A mobile device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used in other than fixed

locations and to generally be used in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20

centimeters is normally maintained between the transmitter's radiating structure(s) and the

body of the user or nearby persons. In this context, the term ''fixed location'' means that the

device is physically secured at one location and is not able to be easily moved to another

location.
