Subject: CENELEC.......

Hello all,
somebody put on my desk a publication called "Hallo", the customer
magazine by the Norwegian Telenor Mobil - the ex-national telephone
company's mobile telephone division.

In it was a page referring to the investigation I have mentioned earlier
- with a badly misleading excerpt and heading. - That's to be expected
....
But in the last paragraph there is a reference to, here I translate:

"Recently the european standardisation authority CENELEC accepted a
common european standard for maximum values for electromagnetic
radiation - based on today's standards - without even putting any
question marks at the suggested values for limits" 

(First of all the norwegian is as difficult to understand as the
english, so I can't enlighten you there (or in other words, please don't
shoot the translator!!))

Secondly - what is this about? I tried to look at CENELEC on the web,
and got the strong impression that it was a mainly manufacturer's
organisation ensuring that they work to the same standards -
technically. Have they actually said anything about health? - I couldn't
find any, but I find these official bodies difficult to search, and am
not very experienced with websites (yet).

Taken in connection with the badly misrepresented data of the
investigation I would like to write to them - but need information about
this reference to the standard, so if anybody could please enlighten me
I'd be very grateful.

with warm greetings,
Ingrid High
