precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health hazard exists. Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Certification Information Additional information on the safety of RF exposures from various Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is sources can be obtained from the following organizations designed and manufactured not to exceed the exposure limits for (updated 10/1/2010): Radio Frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications • FCC RF Safety Program: Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government. http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/. These FCC exposure limits are derived from the • Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): http://www.epa.gov/radtown/wireless-tech.html. • Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA): T http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/radiofrequencyradiation/. (Note: This web address is case sensitive.) F • National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH): http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/. A • World Health Organization (WHO): http://www.who.int/peh-emf/en/. R • International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection: http://www.icnirp.de. D • Health Protection Agency: recommendations of two expert organizations: the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the 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 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 http://www.hpa.org.uk/Topics/Radiation/. comply with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). • US Food and Drug Administration: http://www.fda.gov/Radiation-EmittingProducts/ RadiationEmittingProductsandProcedures/ HomeBusinessandEntertainment/CellPhones/default.htm. The FCC exposure limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection to the public and to account for any variations in measurements. 121
