SAR – European Union (RTTE)

INFORMATION ON RF EXPOSURE/

SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR)
THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE

LIMITS SET BY THE EU (1999/519/EC)

FOR PROTECTION OF THE HEALTH

OF THE PUBLIC FROM THE EFFECTS

OF EXPOSURE TO ELECTROMAGNETIC

FIELDS
These limits are part of comprehen-

sive recommendations for the pro-

tection of the public. The recom-

mendations were developed and

confirmed by independent scientific

organisations through periodic and

thorough evaluation of scientific

studies*. The limits include a sub-

stantial safety margin designed

to assure the safety of all persons,

regardless of age and health.
Before a radio equipment may be

placed on the market, compliance

with the European laws and the

respective technical limit require-

ments must be demonstrated. Only

then the CE mark may be affixed**.

The limit for mobile phones recom-

mended by the Council of the

European Union employs a unit of

measurement known as the Specific

Absorption Rate, or SAR. This SAR

limit is 2.0 W/kg***. This corre-

sponds with the requirements of the

International Commission for Non-

Ionizing Radiation Protection ICNIRP

and was adopted into the European

Norm for Mobile Radio Equipment

EN 50360. The SAR of mobile

phones is determined in accordance

with the European Norm EN 50361.

This involves measuring the maxi-

mum value in all frequency bands of

the mobile phone with the phone

transmitting at its highest power

level. The actual SAR level of the

phone during normal operation may

be well below the maximum value.

This is because the phone is

designed to operate at multiple

power levels so as to use only the

power required to reach the net-

work. In general, the closer you are

to a base station, the lower the

power output.
The highest SAR value for this phone

model when tested for compliance

against the standard was

0.88 W/kg****.
You can also find the SAR value for

this device on the Internet at this

address www.siemens-mobile.com

While there may be differences

between the SAR levels of various

phones and at various positions, all

Siemens products meet the legal

requirements.

(WHO, CH-1211 Geneva 27, Switzer-

land) states that present scientific

information does not indicate the

need for any special precautions for

use of mobile phones.
