SAR Requirements Specific to Portable Mobiles
Mobile phones, PDAs or other portable 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 portable EHS6 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 portable use. For European 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 or directives are in force outside these areas.
Products intended for sale in US markets
EN 59005/ANSI C95.1: Considerations for evaluation of human exposure to Electromagnetic Fields
(EMFs) from Mobile Telecommunication Equipment (MTE) in the frequency range 30MHz – 6GHz.
Products intended for sale in European markets
EN 50360: Product standard to demonstrate the compliance of mobile phones with the basic restrictions
related to human exposure to electromagnetic fields (300MHz - 3GHz)
Please note that SAR requirements are specific only for portable devices and not for mobile devices as
defined below:
•
Portable device: A portable device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used so
that the radiating structure(s) of the device is/are within 20 centimeters of the user´s body.
•
Mobile device: A mobile device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used in other
than fixed locations and to generally be used in such a way that a separation distance of at
least 20 centimeters is normally maintained between the transmitter’s radiating structure(s)
and the user’s body or that of nearby persons. In this context, the term “fixed location” means
that the device is physically secured at one location and cannot be easily moved to another
location.
3. RoHS Statement
The MTX-StarEnergy-E modem is compliant with the 2011/65/EU Directive of the European Parliament
and of the Council of 8 June 2011 on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in
electrical and electronic equipment Text with EEA relevance (RoHS).
