As mobile communication gets wider and more diversified, KT is complying with EMR standards to prevent possible negative impact on customer’s health. When it comes to installing cell towers, the company spontaneously measures EMR intensity and reports it to the Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning according to the Radio Waves Act. Also, we make sure to keep the intensity below SAR levels, government standards of exposure limits, by doing a thorough inspection. The company attaches a rating sticker to the cell tower after measuring EMR and discloses it to the public according to the government’s announcement. And, we are working to achieve a zero-EMR environment by developing eco-friendly cell tower installation methods in cooperation with MSIP and 3 mobile carriers.
Major electromagnetic waveSpecific absorption rate (SAR) is a measure of the rate at which energy is absorbed by the human body when exposed to a radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic field in using electronic devices - mobile phone, computer, microwave, etc.
You may check SAR standards per body part in detail by international organization and main countries.
You may also check the accurate SAR of your mobile phone.
Intensity of electromagnetic field from mobile phones may vary in accordance with the use environment and method. Please check the right way to use it.

KT makes every effort to not only provide safe mobile communication services through rigorous checks and management but create an environment where customers enjoy the services safely. KT measures the SAR of every mobile phone it handles and sells only mobile phones having SARss below exposure limits, 1.6w/kg, to avoid health risks. When installing a new sending antenna in a residential or commercial area, the company must first ask for 100%. prior consent. For the EMR intensity measurement area, it measures the intensity in accordance with the Radio Waves Act and then reports it to MSIP. If a local resident asks for an additional EMR measurement, we take precise measurements accordingly. With regard to any KT cell tower or repeater in the EMR intensity measurement area, we shall disclose the measurement result to the KT EMR website that is available to the public.
