U.S. FCC proposed to maintain current RF exposure safety standards

5 December, 2019.

U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) published a proposal to maintain current RF exposure safety standards.

According to the document, "we [FCC] find no appropriate basis for and thus decline to propose amendments to our existing limits at this time."
"Despite requests from some to increase and others to decrease the existing limits, we believe they reflect the best available information concerning safe levels of RF exposure for workers and members of the general public, including inputs from our sister federal agencies charged with regulating safety and health and from well established international standards."
"we notice further targeted proposals on the application of our RF emission exposure limits for future uses of wireless technologies. Specifically, we propose to formalize a an additional limit for localized RF exposure and the associated methodology for compliance for portable devices operating at high frequencies (gigahertz (GHz) frequencies). on top of our already existing limits that apply at these frequencies, and propose to extend this to terahertz (THz) frequencies as well. We also propose to allow wireless power transfer (WPT) equipment under the Commission’s rules and propose specific exposure limits for such operations."
