5.1.1.2      Requirements and limits for separation distance > 20 cm
This estimation follows the general guidelines for RF Exposure according to KDB 447498.

As noted in §2.1091(b) a mobile device is defined as “a transmitting device designed to be used in
other than fixed locations and to generally be used in such a way that a separation distance of at
least 20 centimeters is normally maintained between the transmitter's radiating structure(s) and
the body of the user or nearby persons.”
According to §2.1091(c) the limits to be used for evaluation are defined in §1.1310.

As specified in §1.1310(d)(2) at operating frequencies less than or equal to 6 GHz, the limits for
maximum permissible exposure (MPE), derived from whole-body SAR limits and listed in Table 1
of §1.1310(e) may be used.

5.2.1.2      Exemption Limits for Routine Evaluation – RF Exposure
             Evaluation

According to RSS 102 Clause 2.5.2:
RF exposure evaluation is required if the separation distance between the user and/or bystander
and the device’s radiating element is greater than 20 cm, except when the device operates as
follows:
• below 20 MHz6 and the source-based, time-averaged maximum e.i.r.p. of the device is equal to
or less than 1 W (adjusted for tune-up tolerance);
• at or above 20 MHz and below 48 MHz and the source-based, time-averaged maximum e.i.r.p. of
the device is equal to or less than 4.49/ƒ0.5 W (adjusted for tune-up tolerance), where ƒ is in MHz;
• at or above 48 MHz and below 300 MHz and the source-based, time-averaged maximum e.i.r.p.
of the device is equal to or less than 0.6 W (adjusted for tune-up tolerance);
• at or above 300 MHz and below 6 GHz and the source-based, time-averaged maximum e.i.r.p. of
the device is equal to or less than 1.31 x 10-2 ƒ0.6834 W (adjusted for tune-up tolerance), where ƒ is
in MHz;
• at or above 6 GHz and the source-based, time-averaged maximum e.i.r.p. of the device is equal
to or less than 5 W (adjusted for tune-up tolerance).

In these cases, the information contained in the RF exposure technical brief may be limited to
information that demonstrates how the e.i.r.p. was derived.
