Hi Kate, you are right. Depending on the application, power and distance, the way of demonstrating compliance with SAR standards are different. This means that not always a declaration of compliance with a specific standard is enough and not always SAR testing is needed. We have experienced both situations. This is why I said "...which does not necessarily means SAR testing."

Dear Alejandro - FYI, our clients have been asked by the Singaporean authorities to provide SAR test reports, not just declarations - this is why they have requested testing from us. This has been for devices such as laptops, handhelds, etc., etc. Obviously, for wireless devices which do not operate in the reactive near-field (eg. access points which are over 20 cm away, etc.), SAR would not normally be applicable (MPE applies instead).

Hi Rick, just one clarification to Kate's email: it is needed to declare compliance with one of the following standards: a) Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1999/FCC OET No. 65:1997 b) International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP 1998) Guidelines for limiting exposure to time-varying EMFs in the frequency range up to 300 GHz. c) Department of Health and Welfare Canada, Safety Code 6 (1999) / Canada - RSS-102: 1999 (Industry Canada) d) Australia - Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic Radiation - Human Exposure) Standard 1999, including amendment No. 1: 2000/ACA AS/NZS 2772.1 e) EU Countries - CENELEC ES59005 (1998) f) Verband Deutscher Elektrolngenieure (VDE) DIN-0848 g) National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom DOCS.NRPB, 4, No. 5 (1993). which does not necessarily means SAR testing.

Rick, I am sure you will get a very complete reply from our colleagues, but one important point for Singapore is that SAR (Specific Absorbtion Rate) testing is required even for very, very low power (mW in the single digits). The standard is IDA-TS-SSS. Feel free to contact me offline if you need more details. Kindest regards, Kate Kathy M.
