SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) Testing
(1) Concerns over Health Impacts of Electromagnetic Radiation Garner Attention
In an era of widespread use of electronic and electrical equipment, people’s daily lives are surrounded by various electronic products, such as smartphones, tablets, and wireless routers. These devices emit electromagnetic radiation of different frequencies during operation. Consumers are increasingly worried that long-term exposure to electromagnetic radiation may pose potential hazards to their health, especially to sensitive parts like the brain, reproductive system, and eyes. For example, it may cause insomnia, headaches, affect fertility, and accelerate eye fatigue. Although medical research has not yet reached a definitive conclusion, some cases suggest an association between high-intensity and long-duration electromagnetic radiation and health abnormalities. To alleviate consumer concerns and fulfill social responsibilities, enterprises urgently need professional SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) testing to ensure that the electromagnetic radiation of their products is within a safe range.
(2) Regulatory Mandates to Safeguard Public Safety
Governments and international organizations around the world, out of consideration for public health, have enacted laws to strictly control the electromagnetic radiation levels of electronic and electrical products, with SAR as a key measurement indicator. Certifications such as the EU’s CE certification and the US FCC certification mandatorily require that products undergo and pass SAR testing before being launched on the market. Departments like China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology also require specific electronic products to meet SAR limits. Products that fail to meet the standards are prohibited from being sold or imported. The aim is to protect the public from unreasonable electromagnetic radiation and maintain a healthy market order, prompting enterprises to proactively seek compliant SAR testing services.
