What is the ACMAs approach to regulating radiofrequency EME?
The ACMA regulates devices such as mobile phone handsets at first point of supply to the market in Australia. This is done through applying the ACMA’s mandatory standard and requirements for demonstrating compliance with the standard. Other transmitters are regulated through the ACMA’s radiocommunications apparatus licensing system. In both systems, the compliance requirements become more onerous as the potential of the devices to exceed the limits of the standard increases. For comprehensive information about the ACMA’s regulatory approach to EMR, see the following ACMA publications which are on the ACMA’s website: • Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Radiation – Information for manufacturers, importers and agents of mobile and portable radiocommunications transmitters with integral antennas, and • Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Radiation – Information for licensees of radiocommunications transmitters. These publications are also available from ACMA off
