If the manufacturer made phones have software that allowed different steps or a slider of the SAR level. This would allow users better control over the EMF their phones produce, while still allowing them to otherwise use the phone. This could for example be adjustable in the phone settings. Yes there should be and is already a company and regulations decided max.  But there is no reason the user should not have the option to themselves decide what their preferred SAR level is through the settings.\n\nI also feel like SAR level should be advertised more clearly when phones are sold. To let the user be aware of it when buying.","source_hash":"546c8b87277abc7d7c1b29fbbdedbeb32d55cb3110d484d5549ff20295bd6fb2","filing_type":"","proceedings":"","captured_at":"","source_name":"","number":"2871","withheld":false,"attachment_inventory":true,"capture_reviewed":false,"source":"https://www.regulations.gov/comment/HHS-OASH-2026-0397-2871","slug":"policy-standards-comment-2871","tags":[],"attachments":[],"attachment_names":[],"classification":{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-2871","body_sha256":"cdfbcaa85564b4e78fedc35d48ace3ee74b32e75cf2725e53bd85ca082ccc05f","status":"ai_reviewed","primary_topic":"standards","topics":[{"id":"standards","evidence":"The phone SAR level can be adjusted via software from the firmware level.
