2. What is the FDA's role concerning the safety of wireless phones?

	Under the law, the FDA does not review the safety of
	radiation-emitting consumer 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 radiofrequency energy (RF) at a level that is
	hazardous to the user. In such a case, the FDA could
	require the manufacturers of wireless phones to
	notify users of the health hazard and to repair,
	replace, or recall the phones so that the hazard no
	longer exists.
SA	Although the existing scientific data do not justify
F E	FDA regulatory actions, the FDA has urged the
T Y	wireless phone industry to take a number of steps,
	including the following:
	● Support needed research into possible biological
	effects of RF of the type emitted by wireless phones;
	● Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any
	RF exposure to the user that is not necessary for
	device function; and

●Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best possible information on possible effects of wireless phone use on human health.

The FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that have responsibility for different aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated efforts at the federal level. The following agencies belong to this working group:

●National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health

●Environmental Protection Agency

●Occupational Safety and Health Administration

●National Telecommunications and Information Administration

The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working group activities, as well.

The FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless phones with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). All phones that are sold in the United States must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF exposure.

The FCC relies on the FDA and other health agencies for safety questions about wireless phones.
