RE: Certification process for 802.11B Singapore, and New Zealand?
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).
