The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements. Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) web-site at http://www.wow-com.com.
