Element is a global leader in RF Exposure assessments including Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) and Power Density (PD) testing, and SPR-002 Nerve Stimulation Testing of wireless devices for compliance with RF safety limits for worldwide markets including US, Canada, Korea, Japan and European regulations.
Defined as the measure of Radio Frequency (RF) energy absorbed by the head or body, Specific Absorption Rate is carefully regulated by government institutions. Many countries around the world have developed safety guidelines to limit the amount of RF exposure of devices used within 20 cm (7.8 in) of the head or body. We can help you determine the specific absorption rate of a product and ensure that the rate is below-accepted standards for safe exposure.
Element has a comprehensive range of testing and certification services for your products, including those with SAR requirements.
We regularly carry out RF exposure assessments for a wide range of products including 2G/3G/4G/LTE/5G cellular phones, WLAN, laptops, Bluetooth, Zigbee, implantable and body-worn devices and offer RF exposure and SAR testing services according to the latest standards and specifications around the world to support you with gaining approvals for CE marking for EU, FCC for US, ISED for Canada, MIC for Japan, and RRA for Korea.
We have close and regular contact with both the FCC, ISED, service providers/carriers, and manufacturers, and use this to establish test solutions for complex compliance situations. We have assisted in developing test solutions for regulatory requirements for products including:
- Consumer and occupational handheld wireless devices
- Tablets and smartphones including all cellular technologies (2G/3G/4G/LTE/5G)
- EAS, metal detectors, RFID, TPMS, vehicle security systems
- A4WP, WPC, PMA Wireless Power Transfer (WPT)/Charging
- Wearables
- Implants and body worn devices
- IoT including ZigBee
- 5G NR and mmWave technology
- Device-based time-averaged RF exposure (TAS)
We are also a Vodafone Authorized SAR Laboratory.
When working with Element, you benefit from having access to the very latest RF exposure knowledge with fast turnaround of tests, a global network of expertise and over 39 years of Connected Technologies experience to get your products to market on time, every time.
