Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)

About SAR Lab:TEC has commissioned SAR Lab for mobile handsets on 21st January 2013.
This Lab was inaugurated by Honble MOC &IT Shri Kapil Sibal in a
function which was attended by senior officers of DoT (Department of
Telecommunication).
The SAR Lab is the first Lab in INDIA for independent audit of SAR value,
self certified by mobile handset manufacturers and importers in INDIA. The
main equipment of the lab is supplied by M/s Speag of Switzerland, through
its Indian partner.
SAR is closely related to electric field strengths produced inside human body
tissues while making communication. It is the rate at which human body
absorbs electromagnetic power radiated from mobile phones. Lower the value
of SAR, safer the mobile handset for the human use.
The lab is capable of making SAR measurement for CDMA, GSM 2G &3G
mobile handsets in the frequency band of 800MHz, 900MHz, 1800MHz AND
2100MHz. the lab is also capable of making SAR value against the
International Commission on NON-Ionizing radio protection (ICNIRP) limit
of 2Wattper Kg measured over 10 gm of tissue as well as the recently adopted
limit in INDIA i.e. 1.6Watt per Kg measured 1 gm of tissue.
Government of India has prescribed safety limits for exposure to RF energy
produced by mobile devices that mainly exposes the head or a limb for the RF
energy. This article presents basics of electromagnetic radiations from Mobile
phones, the standards adopted for safety limits and measures taken by
Department of Telecommunications for assessment of complains to safety
limits in terms of SAR values of mobile phones.

PROJECT NAME:ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATIONS and HUMAN

BODY EXPOSURE to the ELECTROMAGNETIC
RADIATIONS including SAR MEASUREMENT in the
close proximity to the human head.
