If the composite device can radiate all transmitters simultaneously, I believe you will find that they will need to be tested simultaneously. The exposure limit standards indicate the sum of all exposure sources, though I am not sure that you will find that the measurement methodology for a particular phantom is set up for simultaneous measurements. You'll need to work this through with your lab of choice.
A fall back position might be to measure each separately and then numerically sum the results per the calling standards.

WLAN & Bluetooth (2.4GHz) & WLAN 5GHz. Do all radios have to be activated (transmitting) simultaneously to measure EMF, SAR at once or shall each radio be tested individually? Is this maybe country dependent? Best regards, Kris Carpentier Regulatory & Approvals - This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
