Beavers'" 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 Archive provided courtesy of WaveGuide, http://www.wave-guide.org Reprinted with permission of Roy Beavers, http://www.feb.se/EMF-L/EMF-L.html
