5. Decree amending Decree No 2010-1207 of 12 October 2010 on displaying the specific absorption rate of radio terminal equipment

6. Radio equipment for which manufacturers are obligated to measure the specific absorption rate (SAR)

7. -

8. The purpose of the draft decree is to improve public information on exposure to radio frequencies emitted by radio equipment. It aims to make it obligatory for the SAR value of radio equipment subject to a measuring obligation to be displayed. This value will be provided free of charge to the final consumer in the immediate vicinity of the equipment to which it relates at points of sale or distribution and in all advertisements.

9. As stated in Article 10(8) of Directive 2014/53/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to the making available on the market of radio equipment, ‘manufacturers shall ensure that the radio equipment is accompanied by instructions and safety information in a language which can be easily understood by consumers and other end-users, as determined by the Member State concerned.’

In addition, the French National Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety published, in October 2013, an update of its expert appraisal on radio frequencies and health. It takes into account the health evaluations carried out by expert working groups convened by the International Agency for Research on Cancer - published in October 2013 in volume 102 ‘Monographs on the evaluation of carcinogenic risks to humans: radiofrequency electromagnetic fields’ - and recommends in particular that exposure be reduced by encouraging the moderate use of mobile phones and favouring the use of hands-free kits and the weakest SAR mobile terminals.

The measure is justified from a public health perspective as the SAR is currently the only information regarding electromagnetic field exposure which can be provided to the consumer.

10. Reference(s) to basic text(s): Act No 2015-136 of 9 February 2015 on restraint, transparency, information and dialogue regarding exposure to electromagnetic waves
