How does the FCC monitor and enforce compliance with RF exposure limits?
The FCC requires manufacturers of wireless devices and operators of communication facilities to comply with its RF exposure guidelines. Devices undergo testing to ensure they meet the SAR limits before they can be marketed. The FCC also conducts field tests and audits to ensure that communication facilities, such as cell towers, adhere to exposure limits. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in fines or other enforcement actions. This regulatory framework helps mitigate potential public health risks associated with RF radiation.
