Safety Guidelines
• 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

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
