SAR (Specific Absorption Rate).
The current information about exposure to radio-
frequency electromagnetic fields and their absorption can
be contradictory and confusing. Consumers are exposed
to these fields from a range of household devices,
including mobile phones.
At the moment, no direct correlation has been found
between exposure to radio-frequency electromagnetic
fields and consumer health. However, the lack of long-
term studies warrants further research into potential
links between mobile phone use and cancer risks. The
World Health Organization (WHO) has several studies in
progress.

The best way to avoid exposure to radio-frequency
electromagnetic fields is to use a hands-free headset.
SAR is measured in lab facilities.

Regulations.
Protecting you & the environment.
RoHS. This is directive 2002/95/EC on the restriction of
the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical
and electronic equipment. It was adopted in February
2003 by the European Union and restricts the use of six
hazardous materials in the manufacture of various types
of electronic and electrical equipment. These materials
are: lead, mercury and cadmium, hexavalent chromium,
polybrominated bipheyls (PBB) and polybrominated
diphenyl ethers (PBDE) (flame retardants) in Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (EEE). In June of 2011 the European
Union Parliament and Council passed Directive 2011/65/
EU. Our products are tested to comply with this directive.
REACH. Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and
Restriction of Chemicals is a European Union regulation
from 2006. It controls the use of chemicals in the
production of devices and the impacts that they have
on human health and the environment. Our products are
tested to comply with this regulation and suppliers need
to deliver documentation about the substances used in
their products.
