Safety Guidelines
2. What is the FDA's role concerning the safety of
wireless phones?
Under the law, the FDA does not review the safety
of radiation emitting consumer products such as
wireless phones before they can be sold, as it does
with new drugs or medical devices. However, the
agency has authority to take action if wireless phones
are shown to emit radio frequency energy (RF) at a
level that is hazardous to the user. In such a case,
the FDA could require the manufacturers of wireless
phones to notify users of the health hazard and to
repair, replace or recall the phones so that the hazard
no longer exists.
Although the existing scientific data does not justify
FDA regulatory actions, the FDA has urged the
wireless phone industry to take a number of steps,
including the following:
14
• Support needed research into possible biological
effects of the type of RF 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 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 Agency
