Safety Guidelines (Continued)

Support needed research into
possible biological effects of RF of
the type emitted by wireless
phones;

Design wireless phones in a way
that minimizes any RF exposure to
the user that is not necessary for
device function; and

Cooperate in providing users of
wireless phones with the best
possible information on possible
effects of wireless phone use on
human health.
The FDA belongs to an interagency
working group of the federal agencies
that have responsibility for different
aspects of RF safety to ensure
coordinated efforts at the federal
level. The following agencies belong
to this working group:

National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health

Environmental Protection Agency
 Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (Administración de
la seguridad y salud laborales)
 Occupational Safety and Health
Administration

National Telecommunications and
Information Administration
The National Institutes of Health
participates in some interagency
working group activities, as well.
The FDA shares regulatory
responsibilities for wireless phones
with the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC). All phones that
are sold in the United States must
comply with FCC safety guidelines
that limit RF exposure. The FCC relies
on the FDA and other health agencies
for safety questions about wireless
phones.
The FCC also regulates the base
stations that the wireless phone
networks rely upon. While these base
stations operate at higher power than
do the wireless phones themselves,
the RF exposures that people get from
these base stations are typically
thousands of times lower than those
they can get from wireless phones.
Base stations are thus not the subject
of the safety questions discussed in
this document.
