Association (CTIA) have a
formal Cooperative Research
And Development Agreement
(CRADA) to do research on
wireless phone safety. The FDA
provides the scientific
oversight, obtaining input from
experts in government,
industry, and academic
organizations. CTIA-funded
research is conducted through
contracts with independent
investigators. The initial
research will include both
laboratory studies and studies
of wireless phone users. The
CRADA will also include a
broad assessment of additional
research needs in the context
of the latest research
developments around the
world.

7. How can I find out how

much Radio Frequency energy

exposure I can get by using

my wireless phone?

All phones sold in the United
States must comply with
Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) guidelines
that limit Radio Frequency (RF)
energy exposures. The FCC
established these guidelines in
consultation with the FDA and
the other federal health and
safety agencies. The FCC limit
for RF exposure from wireless
phones is set at a Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6
watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).
The FCC limit is consistent with
the safety standards developed
by the Institute of Electrical
and Electronic Engineering
(IEEE) and the National Council
on Radiation Protection and
Measurement. The exposure
