Dear Sir,
I had purchased "Asus Zenfone 5 A501CG (Red, with 8GB)" on[protected] from
your website. On your website SAR Value of this product, shown on
specifications was "At the Head - 0.710 W/Kg, At the Body - 0.607 W/Kg",
but on dispatched packet SAR Value is showing* 2.0W/Kg.*
Some days before, I have read on newspaper that Mobile phone having beyond
1.6W/Kg SAR Value is not permitted to be manufactured or imported in India,
because this may cause serious health problems.
* I saw on Department of Telecom website, as per Department of Telecom,
Govt. of India:*
• All the new designs of mobile handsets shall comply with the SAR values
of 1.6W/kg averaged over 1 gram of human tissue w.e.f. 1st Sept. 2012.
• The mobile handsets with existing designs which are compliant with 2.0
W/kg averaged over 10 gram of human tissue, continue to co‐exist up to 31st
August 2013. *From 1st Sept. 2013, only the mobile handsets with revised
SAR value of 1.6W/kg would be permitted to be manufactured or imported in
India.*
As per Department of Telecom, Govt. of India guidelines, mobile handsets
having SAR Value beyond 1.6W/Kg not permitted to be manufactured or
imported in India. Despite this, It was sold to me, which is violation of
Govt. guidelines. It may cause serious health issues.
kindly look into the matter and do the needful on urgent basis.
Please find attachmets:
1. Department of Telecom guidelines regarding SAR Value
2. Packet pictures indicating SAR Value
Your Sincerely,
Shahzad Shekh
