REUTERS/Gonzalo Fuentes/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsPARIS, Sept 13 (Reuters) - Apple (AAPL.O) said on Wednesday its iPhone 12 model was certified by multiple international bodies as compliant with global radiation regulations and standards after a French watchdog ordered it to stop selling the phones due to above-threshold radiation levels. The ANFR radiation watchdog told Apple on Tuesday it should stop selling iPhone 12 in France after carrying out tests which it said showed the smartphone's Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) was higher than legally allowed. The ANFR said it expected Apple "to deploy all available means to put an end to the non-compliance. Apple said it had provided ANFR multiple Apple and independent third-party lab results proving its compliance.

Apple said on Wednesday its iPhone 12 model was certified by multiple international bodies as compliant with global radiation standards after a French watchdog ordered it to stop selling the handset on the grounds it breaches European exposure limits. The ANFR said it would send agents to Apple stores and other distributors to check the model was no longer being sold. Apple said it had provided ANFR with multiple Apple and independent third-party lab results proving its compliance with all applicable SAR regulations and standards in the world. The European standard is a specific absorption rate of 4.0 watts per kilogram. ANFR added the tests showed the phone complied with so-called body-SAR standards when it was in a jacket pocket or bag.

CNN —Apple is fighting France’s claims that the iPhone 12 surpasses European radiation exposure limits after French regulators on Tuesday ordered a pause on sales and a fix to phones already sold to customers. France’s National Frequency Agency said it “has demanded that Apple withdraw the iPhone 12 from the French market, effective 12 September 2023, as measures show the specific absorption rate exceeds the set limits.” The agency said the iPhone 12 is not compliant with European Union regulations. “Apple must immediately adopt all necessary measures to prevent the iPhone 12 in the supply chain from being made available on the market,” ANFR added. The company said it was contesting the AFNR’s review results and would continue to work with the agency to demonstrate the phone’s compliance. SAR is a measure of the rate of energy absorption by the body from the source being measured, according to the ANFR.
