DIN EN IEC/IEEE 62209-1528:2025-12

This document specifies protocols and test procedures for the reproducible and repeatable measurement of the conservative exposure peak spatial average SAR (psSAR) induced inside a simplified model of the head and the body by radio-frequency (RF) transmitting devices, with a defined measurement uncertainty. These protocols and procedures apply to a significant majority of the population, including children, during the use of hand-held and body-worn wireless communication devices. The applicable frequency range is from 4 MHz to 10 GHz. Devices operating in the applicable frequency range can be tested using the phantoms and other requirements defined in this document. This document does not apply to implanted medical devices. The standard differs from DIN EN 62209-1 (VDE 0848-209-1):2017-11 and DIN EN 62209-2 (VDE 0848-209-2):2020-07 as follows: a) extension of the frequency range down to 4 MHz and up to 10 GHz; b) testing of devices with proximity sensors; c) application specific phantoms; d) device holder specifications; e) fast SAR testing procedures; f) test reduction procedures; g) LTE assessment procedure; h) revision of validation clause, including validation antennas; i) revision of SAR assessment procedure; j) time-average SAR measurement procedure; k) uncertainty analysis. The device categories covered include, but are not limited to, mobile telephones, cordless microphones, and radio transmitters in personal, desktop and laptop computers, for multiband operations using single or multiple antennas, including push-to-talk devices. This document can also be applied for wireless power transfer devices operating above 4 MHz.
