DoT has notified the following revised SAR limit for compliance:
(I) SAR level for mobile handset to be limited to 1.6 Watt/Kg. averaged over a mass of 1 gram of human tissue.
(ii) All new designs of mobile handsets will comply with SAR value of 1.6 W/Kg averaged over 1 gram tissue w.e.f. 1st September, 2012. However, the mobile handsets with existing designs which are compliant with 2.0 W/Kg averaged over 10 gram tissue, may continue to co-exist up to 31st August, 2013.
(iii) From 1st September, 2013, only the mobile handsets with revised SAR value of 1.6 W/Kg would permitted to be manufactured or imported in India for domestic market.
