Additionally, there is a (draft) RSS 102 standard, called up for most devices, which deals with the RF absorbtion (SAR/MPE) issue. RSP 100 governs the overall picture. For the USA, the intentional (RF) radiator requirements are stipulated in the applicable Part (eg. 15C, 22, 90, etc), while the unintentional (EMI) requirements are found in Part 15, Subpart B. The RF absorbtion (SAR/MPE) requirements (96-326) are specified in Part 2. Part 2 also governs the overall picture. Hope this helps.
