Both were deemed unacceptable and rejected. The auction was cancelled on November 21 and will be held again soon.
According to the original contract notice, published by ANCOM on August 18, the laboratory will be built in Prejmer, Brasov county, on land owned by the regulator.

Exposure to the electromagnetic radiation produced by mobile phones is gauged by the specific absorption rate (SAR), which measures the rate at which the radiation is absorbed by the human body.
Romania’s first laboratory to measure the SAR was opened in Craiova in 2009 by the National Institute of Research, Development and Testing for Electrical Engineering.
