The Safe Cell Tab was tested by one of the leading testing laboratories in North America, the California Institute of Electronics and Materials Science (CIEMS).  This laboratory is responsible for testing hundreds of different products every year. 

The Safe Cell Tab was tested at 0.800 GHz, 1.9 GHz and 10.525 GHz and was found to provide an average of 99.997% signal absorption.  Below is the data and test description.

Shielding Effectiveness Test

CONCLUSION

The Samples Tested Possess Satisfactory Shielding Effectiveness in the Test Frequency Range

0.800 GHz to 10.525 GHz.

TEST DESCRIPTION

1.  The test per ASTM D4935, IEEE-STD-299-1991, FED-STD-1037, MIL-STD-188-125A, MIL-STD-461C and MIL-STD-462. Test conditions: T=22°C, RH=39%, P=101.4 kPa.

2.  Each magnitude of the plane-wave (SEpw) and magnetic (SEm) shielding effectiveness in the table above is an average from six (6) test runs at each of the three test frequencies on each of the six samples tested. The experimental error evaluated by the partial derivatives and least squares methods does not exceed 6%. The data on the standard deviation are kept on file at CIEMS.

3.  The linear arrangement of the generator and receiver antennas and the test specimens meets the requirements of MIL-STD-188-125A and the EM Performance Test Plan CIEMS-3RFRT-393001.

4.  Instruments and devices used

- Digital Hygrothermometer Model 63-844 MI, Barometer Model 602650 SB.

5.  The equipment meets the applicable NIST, ASTM, ASME, OSHA and State requirements and was calibrated with the standards traceable to the NIST. The calibration was performed per ANSI/ASO/ASQ-Q9004-2000, ISO 10011-1:1992, ISO 10012-2:1997, MIL-STD-45662, MIL-I-45208, NAVAIR-17-35-MTL-1. CSP-1/03-93 and the instrument manufacturers' specifications.

6.  The equipment passed a periodic accuracy test in June 2004. The linear measure instruments will be calibrated in December 2004. Next test - June 2005.
