The report also examines the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electromagnetic immunity (EMI) standards relevant to automotive and hospital environments as these are areas of proposed application of embedded modules and where historically there have been issues raised in regard to the use of mobile phones. It does not address other restrictions that may apply to the use of mobile communications equipment in vehicles. The document provides outline information on the process for applying for certification in key national markets, however, it is not a substitute for examining the specific technical regulations applicable to each market. The GSMA has published Embedded Mobile Guidelines which lists a range of issues to be considered and incorporated into the design of the module. In addition to the existing guidelines this report identifies four variables that can be manipulated by the designer to achieve compliance with the relevant human exposure limits and the EMC/EMI limits for medical and automotive environments. The four variables are: Power reduction. Reduced duty cycle. Increased separation between the antenna and human contact. Alternative antenna selection. However, two key questions for the designer are: Will the device be used closer than 20 cm of the body? Different safety criteria apply when the device is used within 20 cm of the body. Will the device be used in the medical environment? There are several standards that address the immunity levels of electro-medical equipment in the bands of operation of cellular phones and these immunity standards are generally the most difficult with which to comply. Given that key decision points dictate the type of safety compliance measurements it is recommended that suitable experts are consulted during the design and prototype process. In addition, because the various national regulatory arrangements can be complex and subject to ongoing change it is further recommended that early in the design process consultation should take place with experts in the regulatory and compliance arrangements for the particular target markets.

The content examines requirements for compliance with human exposure standards for electromagnetic fields (EMFs) that may affect the use of embedded modules based on the GSM family of technologies generally operating at frequencies in the range 700 MHz to 3.5 GHz. It primarily addresses the standards that apply to exposures of the public. Many standards include specific restrictions (often allowing higher levels of exposure1) for professional users of radiofrequency (RF) transmitting equipment, however, it is assumed that embedded modules will be mostly intended for non-professional applications. This document also examines the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and electromagnetic immunity (EMI) standards relevant to automotive and hospital environments as these are areas of proposed application of embedded modules and where historically there have been issues raised in regard to the use of mobile phones. It does not address other restrictions that may apply to the use of mobile communications equipment in vehicles. The document provides outline information on the process for applying for certification in some markets. It is not a substitute for examining the specific technical regulations applicable to each market. Recommendations are provided for amendments to the GSMA Embedded Mobile Guidelines2 and areas of work identified in regard to compliance standards
