and one of the most experienced commercial SAR test houses in the world.  EMC Technologies has been testing and certifying products to CE, C-tick, FCC and VCCI standards and regulations since 1992. The SAR section was established in 1999 to provide local and overseas SAR certification to Australian communications Authority (ACA), FCC and CE R&TTE SAR requirements.   Now in our fifth year of SAR testing we are one of the few SAR test labs using the state-of-the-art SPEAG DASY4 Professional system with an extensive range of precision SAR probes and accessories to enable SAR evaluations from 30 MHz to 6 GHz.  

Most country’s regulatory and standards bodies (FCC, EU, ACA, ICNIRP, ARIB, CENELEC) require compliance testing of low power Mobile Telecommunication Equipment (MTE) to RF radiation human exposure safety standards.

The ACA in Australia and FCC in the USA now require all handheld or body-mounted MTE to be evaluated against human exposure standards, which set basic restrictions for the Specific Absorption Rate of RF energy by any part of the human body.  SAR is defined as the rate at which RF energy is absorbed per unit mass of biological tissue. 

When a device exceeds the transmit power threshold, compliance can only be proved with SAR measurements.  

EMC Technologies is accredited by NATA and is internationally recognised. Our team is committed to provide the highest quality service and  we strive to be efficient without compromising accuracy.    We can fulfill most requirements for  SAR testing.  NATA accredited testing is performed to ACA EMR Standard 2003, Schedules 1 and 2,  EN50360, EN50361, IEEE 1528, FCC OET65C, ARIB and other international standards.  A list of successful FCC certifications and project references can be provided on request. 

EMC Technologies SAR facility is based in Melbourne, Australia.  The recent depreciation of the Australian dollar means a great saving for USA,  European and Asian clients, well worth a FedEx bag.  You can even have a trip down under and still save money.

Feel free to ask questions related to SAR or any other aspect of Electromagnetic Compliance testing.  In many cases, RF transmitters may not require SAR testing (maybe your product doesn’t require testing).  We will be pleased to assist you to determine your requirements.  

Research:  The facility is also be available for engineering R&D and scientific research purposes.  We have assisted many of our clients to comply with the SAR standards.
