1. Turning the Phone on and off

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 radiofrequency 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 do not justify

FDA regulatory actions, the FDA has urged the

wireless phone industry to take a number of steps,

including the following:

Support needed research into possible biological

effects of RF of the type 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 users of 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

Occupational Safety and Health Administration

National Telecommunications and Information

Administration

The National Institutes of Health participates in

some interagency working group activities, as well.

The FDA shares regulatory responsibilities for wireless

phones with the Federal Communications Commission

(FCC). All phones that are sold in the United States

must comply with FCC safety guidelines that limit RF

exposure.

The FCC relies on the FDA and other health agencies

for safety questions about wireless phones.
