11.5 Proximity to Human Body
When using the module in an application where the radio is located close to the human body, the human RF exposure must be evalu-
ated. FCC, ISED, and CE all have different standards for evaluating the RF exposure, and because of this, each standard requires a
different minimum separation distance between the module and human body. Certification of BGM210P allows for the minimum separa-
tion distances detailed in the table below in portable use cases (less than 20 cm from human body). The module is approved for the
mobile use case (more than 20 cm) without any need for RF exposure evaluation.
Table 11.2. Minimum Separation Distances for SAR Evaluation Exemption
Certification BGM210P22A BGM210P32A
FCC 5.3 mm 44.0 mm
ISED 20 mm 40 mm
CE The RF exposure must always be evaluated using the end-product when transmitting with power levels high-
er than 20 mW (13 dBm).
For FCC and ISED, using the module in end-products where the separation distance from the human body is smaller than that listed
above is allowed but requires evaluation of the RF exposure in the final assembly and applying for a Class 2 Permissive Change or
Change of ID to be applied to the existing FCC/ISED approvals of the module. For CE, RF exposure must be evaluated using the end-
product in all cases when transmitting a more than the power level indicated in the table.
Note: Placing the module in touch or very close to the human body will have a negative impact on the efficiency of the antenna thus a
reduced range is to be expected.
