Section 5A: Safety 315

Safety

could require the manufacturers of wireless phones to notify users of the health hazard and

to repair, replace or recall the phones so that the hazard no longer exists.

Although the existing scientific data do not justify FDA regulatory actions, FDA has urged

the wireless phone industry to take a number of steps, including the following:

䢇 Support needed research into possible biological effects of RF of the type emitted by

wireless phones;

䢇 Design wireless phones in a way that minimizes any RF exposure to the user that is not

necessary for device function; and

䢇 Cooperate in providing users of wireless phones with the best possible information on

possible effects of wireless phone use on human health

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:

䢇 National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health

䢇 Environmental Protection Agency

䢇 Federal Communications Commission

䢇 Occupational Safety and Health Administration

䢇 National Telecommunications and Information Administration

The National Institutes of Health participates in some interagency working group activities,

as well.

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. FCC relies on FDA and other health agencies for safety

questions about wireless phones.

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 primary

subject of the safety questions discussed in this document.
