In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and ElectronicsEngineers (IEEE) and the American National Standards Institute(ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety levels withrespect to human exposure to RF signals. More than 120 scientists,engineers and physicians from universities, government healthagencies and industries developed this updated standard afterreviewing the available body of research. In 1993, the FederalCommunications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated standard ina regulation. In August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standardconsisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelinespublished by the National Council of Radiation Protection andMeasurements (NCRP).Acknowledging special precautions and Industry CanadanoticeThis equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits ofa Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
