SAR requirements specific to handheld mobiles
Mobile phones, PDAs or other handheld transmitters and receivers incorporating a GSM
module must be in accordance with the guidelines for human exposure to radio frequency
energy. This requires the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of handheld MC45 based
applications to be evaluated and approved for compliance with national and/or international
regulations.
Since the SAR value varies significantly with the individual product design manufacturers are
advised to submit their product for approval if designed for handheld operation. For
European and US markets the relevant directives are mentioned below. It is the
responsibility of the manufacturer of the final product to verify whether or not further
standards, recommendations of directives are in force outside these areas.
