So much for day dreams of converting GSM networks to GPRS. China Would Enact Strictest Mobile Phone Radiation Standard library.northernlight.com . Story Filed: Monday, April 29, 2002 6:55 AM EST CHINA, Apr 29, 2002 (AsiaPort via COMTEX) -- The mobile phone radiation's affects on human was under the observing and researching, and had no complete scientific conclusion. Currently, SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) was international widely employed standard. Lately, China Ministry of Information Industry held the working conference for mobile phone radiation standard. According to the testing results, the newly marketed mobile phone's radiation was reduced greatly. Meanwhile, China Ministry of Information Industry expressed that China would enact the strictest mobile phone radiation standard in the world. According to the introduction, in the actual telecommunicating process, GSM mobile phone and CDMA mobile phone could not always emit at most power, especially CDMA mobile phone, which emitted at ordinary rate. Chinese mobile phone radiation standard was lowest in the world, the SAR of European standard was 2W, American standard was 1.6W, the new standard of China would be 1W. The MMF (Mobile Manufacturers Forum) expressed that Chinese new standard would impact at least three aspects in Chinese mobile phone telecommunication field, which were that 1, the reduction of emission power of base station must demand for more base stations, 2, the reduction of emission power of mobile phone would in turn affect the quality of commination, 3, the mobile phone manufactured in China would not be suitable for export. The MMF is an international association of radio equipment manufacturers whose members include Alcatel, Ericsson, Mitsubishi Electric, Motorola, Nokia, Panasonic, Philips, Siemens and Sony. The MMF was established to support further independent scientific research and to provide authoritative information to governments, standard-setting bodies and consumers on mobile communications and health issues.
