emitting consumer products such as wireless phones before
they can be sold, as it does with new drugs or medical devices.
However, the agency has authority to take action if wireless
phones are shown to emit radiofrequency energy (RF) at a
level that is hazardous to the user. In such a case, FDA could
require the manufacturers of wireless phones to notify users of
the health hazard and to repair, replace or recall the phones so
that the hazard no longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regula-
tory actions, 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 expo-
sure 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.
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 fol-
lowing agencies belong to this working group:
• National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
• Environmental Protection Agency
• Occupational Safety and Health Administration
• National Telecommunications and Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health participates in some intera-
gency working group activities, as well.
