Specic Absorption Rate (SAR) of cell
phones
This model Galaxy A8 mobile phone complies with Japanese
technical regulations and international guidelines regarding
exposure to radio waves.
This mobile phone has been designed in observance of
the Japanese technical regulations regarding exposure
to radio waves
recommended by equivalent international guidelines. These
international guidelines were set out by the International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP),
which is in collaboration with the World Health Organization
(WHO), and the permissible limits include a substantial
safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health condition.
The Japanese technical regulations and international
guidelines dene the limits using a unit of measurement
known as the Specic Absorption Rate (SAR), which
represents the average amount of radio frequency energy
absorbed by the human head. The SAR limit for mobile
phones is 2.0 W/kg. The highest SAR value for this model
handset when tested for use at the ear is 0.099 W/kg and

dierences in SAR levels among individual products, but

the closer you are to a base station, the lower the power
output of the mobile phone.
