Safety Guidelines

7. How can I find out how much radio

frequency energy exposure I can get

by using my wireless phone?

All phones sold in the United States must

comply with Federal Communications

Commission (FCC) guidelines that limit radio

frequency energy (RF) exposures. The FCC

established these guidelines in consultation

with the FDA and the other federal health

and safety agencies. The FCC limit for RF

exposure from wireless telephones is set

at a Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6

watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC

limit is consistent with the safety standards

developed by the Institute of Electrical

and Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and the

National Council on Radiation Protection

and Measurement. The exposure limit takes

into consideration the body’s ability to

remove heat from the tissues that absorb

energy from the wireless phone and is set

well below levels known to have effects.

Manufacturers of wireless phones must

report the RF exposure level for each model

of phone to the FCC. The FCC website

(http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety) gives

directions for locating the FCC identification

number on your phone so you can find your

phone’s RF exposure level in the online

listing.

8. What has the FDA done to measure the

radio frequency energy coming from

wireless phones?

The Institute of Electrical and Electronic

Engineers (IEEE) is developing a technical

standard for measuring the radio frequency

energy (RF) exposure from wireless

phones and other wireless handsets with

the participation and leadership of FDA

scientists and engineers. The standard,

‘Recommended Practice for Determining

the Spatial- Peak Specific Absorption Rate

(SAR) in the Human Body Due to Wireless

Communications Devices: Experimental

Techniques,’ sets forth the first consistent

test methodology for measuring the rate

at which RF is deposited in the heads of

wireless phone users. The test method

uses a tissuesimulating model of the

human head. Standardized SAR test

methodology is expected to greatly improve

the consistency of measurements made at

different laboratories on the same phone.

SAR is the measurement of the amount of

energy absorbed in tissue, either by the
