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 PHS8-P 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 European and US-
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

Products intended for sale on European markets
EN 50360
Product standard to demonstrate the compliance of mobile phones with

IMPORTANT:
Manufacturers of portable applications based on PHS8-P modules are required to have their 
final product certified and apply for their own FCC Grant and Industry Canada Certificate relat-
ed to the specific portable mobile.
