5.2 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 ALAS5 based applications to be eval-
uated 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 US and 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 on US markets
ES 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 on 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)
EN 62311:2008 Assessment of electronic and electrical equipment related to human
exposure restrictions for electromagnetic fields (0 Hz - 300 GHz)
IMPORTANT:
Manufacturers of portable applications based on ALAS5 modules are required to have their fi-
nal product certified and apply for their own FCC Grant and Industry Canada Certificate related
to the specific portable mobile.
