Validation of conformity with European directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE) is a requirement prior to launching any mobile phone model on the market. Protection of public health and safety, in particular the mobile phone users’ is the main aspect in this directive.
Your mobile phone is a radio transceiver. It has been designed to operate under certain thresholds of exposure to Radio frequencies (RF) recommended by the European Union Council (1) for people and users. They were established by independent expert groups based on scientific evaluations which are carried out regularly and in detail. These limits allow for significant safety margin in order to ensure everyone’s security whatever his or her age and health condition.
Standard of exposure for mobile phones is determined by a measurement standard called Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit recommended by the European Union Council is 2.0 w/kg
(2). Testing has been performed on telephones emitting at maximal strength level for all frequency bandwidths, on the basis of standard using modes as defined by the current specifications. Although SARs are tested at the highest strength possible, the actual SAR level in a mobile phone in current use is normally way below the maximum values obtained during the tests. Your mobile phone is designed to operate at a level of strength strictly necessary to allow for its connection to the network. In principle, the closer you are to a base station antenna, the lower the mobile phone’s SAR strength level.
Your telephone is equipped with a
!(1) EC Recommendation 1999/519/EC
(2)SAR limit on mobile phones in general is 2.0 watts/kg at average for 10 g of human tissue. The limit includes a significant safety margin to increase the user’s protection and take into account measurements variation.
