In new rules published today, the FCC has responded to guidelines published by the Government Accounting Office last year asking that it review its policies on RF testing — the core element of FCC hardware certification that helps ensure devices don't emit too much radiation and are generally safe to use. The FCC isn't changing the amount of radiation permitted by SAR testing — the procedure that measures how much radiation is actually absorbed by the human body — but it is making a key change: the outer ear is now identified as an "extremity," which means it can absorb considerably more radiation without running afoul of FCC guidelines.
