groups of experts on the basis of regular and detailed scientific assessments. They
include a significant safety margin intended to ensure the safety of all, r of
age or state of health.
The exposure standard f phones is determined by a measur unit
k
nown as the Specific Absorption Rate or “SAR”. SAR limit is set b international
requirements or b the Council of the Eur Union at 2 watts/kilogram (W/kg)
av ov 10 grams of body tissue.The tests used to determine SAR le were
carried out on the basis of standard usage modes with the phones transmitting at
their maximum po level o the entir range of fr bands.
Although the SAR was established at the highest certified le the actual SAR le
for the mobile phone during use is generall much low than the maximum v
In fact, since mobile phones are designed to operate at many diff pow levels,
