Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless
Smartphones
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF
energy absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless handset.
The SAR value of a smartphone is the result of an extensive testing,
measuring and calculation process. It does not represent how much
RF the smartphone emits. All smartphone models are tested at their
highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in operation, the
SAR of a smartphone can be substantially less than the level reported
to the FCC. This is because of a variety of factors including its
proximity to a base station antenna, smartphone design and other
factors. What is important to remember is that each smartphone
meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a
variation in safety.
All smartphones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates
a substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR
values between different model smartphones do not mean variations
in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are
considered safe for use by the public.
