products such as wireless phones before they can be sold, as it does with new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has authority to take action if wireless phones are shown to emit radio frequency energy (RF) at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA could require the - Samsung SCH-A890 | User Manual (user Manual) (ver.d8) (English) - Page 169
notify users of the health hazard and to repair, replace or recall the phones so that the hazard no longer exists. Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions, FDA has urged the wireless phone industry to take a number of steps, including the following: • Support - Samsung SCH-A890 | User Manual (user Manual) (ver.d8) (English) - Page 170

FDA provides the scientific oversight, obtaining input from - Samsung SCH-A890 | User Manual (user Manual) (ver.d8) (English) - Page 173
through contracts to independent investigators. The initial research will include both laboratory studies and studies of wireless phone users. The CRADA will also include a broad assessment of additional research needs in the context of the latest research developments around the world.

Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standard bodies: • ANSI C95.1 (1992) • NCRP - Samsung SCH-A890 | User Manual (user Manual) (ver.d8) (English) - Page 178
