SAR Testing
What is SAR Testing?
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is a measure which explains how much radio frequency energy is absorbed by the user’s or bystander’s body or head. It is intended to verify that a device does not exceed a country’s established RF exposure limits. SAR Testing must be done on radio devices that are used closer than 20 cm to the human head or body.
TESTiLABS can help you determine whether your product meets your target market’s requirements. We have more than 15 years of experience in SAR Testing and can support you throughout the product development life cycle with our extensive technical expertise to ensure a safe and reliable product.
In addition to SAR testing, TESTiLABS also provides RF Exposure Evaluations for devices with fixed and/or mobile transmitters. These evaluations are performed on radiating structures that would be intended to be used at distances with more than 20cm from the end user.
Performed on devices that operate low time average power or would intended to be used at distances with more than 20 cm from the end user. E.g. Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) Evaluations.
