France demands to suspend sales of iPhone 12 due to excessive electromagnetic radiation
The French National Frequency Administration announced on the 12th that the test results showed that the electromagnetic radiation value of the Apple iPhone 12 exceeded EU standards. Apple has been requested to temporarily remove this phone from the French market starting from that day.
The announcement stated that the French National Frequency Administration, as the regulatory agency for the wireless equipment market, has recently tested a batch of mobile phones, including the Apple iPhone 12, to check whether the specific absorption rate of the phones meets the standard. Specific absorption rate reflects the level of radiation absorbed by the human body when exposed to electromagnetic radiation. The test results show that the limb specific absorption rate of iPhone 12 is 5.74W/kg, exceeding the upper limit of 4W/kg set by the European Union.
The announcement requires Apple to immediately take all necessary measures to suspend the sale of iPhone 12 phones. "Starting from September 12th, all distribution channels in France are prohibited from continuing to sell iPhone12 phones." "For those sold iPhone12 phones, Apple must also take necessary corrective measures to meet the requirements as soon as possible. Otherwise, Apple will be ordered to recall the relevant phones.".
Jean Noel Barrow, the French minister in charge of digital affairs, stated on the 12th that Apple has a 15 day deadline to update the software of relevant phones to meet standards. If this American company does not take action to correct this defect, it may demand a recall of all models of Apple phones in the French market.

Barrow said that the French National Frequency Authority will also share testing information for the iPhone 12 with all EU member states. He said that the standards set by France and the European Union for himself must be implemented, and "every company must comply, and Apple is no exception.".
