scope:

The present document applies to the following Short Range Device major equipment types:

1) Generic Short Range Devices, including alarms, identification systems, radio-determination, telecommand, telemetry etc.;

2) Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID);

3) Detection, movement and alert applications.

These radio equipment types are capable of operating in the permitted frequency bands within the 1 GHz to 40 GHz range as specified in table 1:

- either with a Radio Frequency (RF) output connection and dedicated antenna or with an integral antenna;

- for all types of modulation;

- with or without speech.

Table 1 shows a list of the frequency bands as designated by the European Commission Decision on Short Range Devices and the CEPT/ERC/REC 70-03 [4] as known at the date of publication of the present document.

The present document covers fixed stations, mobile stations and portable stations.

Applications using Ultra Wide Band (UWB) technology are not covered by the present document.

The present document does not require measurements for radiated emissions below 25 MHz.

The present document is intended to cover the provisions of article 3.2 of Directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE Directive) [3]. This document does not apply to radio equipment for which a specific Harmonized EN applies as such Harmonized EN may specify additional EN requirements relevant to the presumption of conformity under article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive [3].
