Safety Guidelines
Although the existing scientific
data do not justify FDA regulatory
actions, the FDA has urged the
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 (Administración
de la seguridad y salud laborales)
►
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.
