Safety

	guidelines in consultation with
	the FDA and the other federal
	health and safety agencies. The
	FCC limit for RF exposure from
	wireless phones 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
S	takes into consideration the
a f e	body’s ability to remove heat
ty	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)
116	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 (RF) energy 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
