The FCC relies on guidelines developed by expert organizations such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP). These guidelines are based on scientific research, including toxicological studies, assessing the thermal and non-thermal effects of RF radiation on biological tissues. The FCC's exposure limits, known as Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), are designed to prevent harmful thermal effects by limiting the amount of RF energy absorbed by the human body.
