Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Testing
RF Safety Lab provides accredited Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) testing for wireless and connected devices requiring RF exposure compliance in the US, Canada, and global markets.
Our engineers support products ranging from smartphones, tablets, laptops, wearables, medical devices, and body-worn products to complex multi-transmitter devices using advanced RF exposure mitigation and time-averaging technologies.
US FCC, ISED Canada & Beyond
RFSL supports SAR testing and RF exposure evaluation for applicable US FCC, ISED RSS-102 Canada, CE requirements, as well as requirements for other international markets.
Our testing capabilities cover a wide range of device configurations, use conditions, wireless technologies, and operating frequencies.
Advanced SAR Testing
Our laboratory is equipped to evaluate all wireless products, including:
Head, body, limb and extremity SAR
Smartphones, tablets and laptops
Wearables and body-worn devices
Medical and IoT devices
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and cellular technologies
Time-averaged SAR and RF exposure mitigation algorithms
RFSL maintains an extensive selection of anatomical and application-specific phantoms for products such as smart glasses, helmets, wrist-worn devices and other emerging form factors.
Complex Regulatory Support
Modern wireless products often require more than simply performing SAR measurements. Our team works closely with manufacturers to develop efficient test strategies, evaluate complex RF exposure implementations, and identify potential compliance issues early in development.
RFSL also has extensive experience supporting FCC ECR and NAG correspondence, ISED Special Authorization requests, and products entering the TCB Multiple PAG (MPAG) process.
By involving RF Safety Lab early, manufacturers reduce unnecessary re-testing, address potential compliance issues sooner, and move products toward certification quickly and with the highest confidence things are done right.
