scope:

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

1) Non-specific Short Range Devices.

2) Alarms, identification systems, radio-determination, telecommand, telemetry, etc.

3) Radio Frequency Identification (RFID).

4) Detection, movement and alert applications.

These radio equipment types are capable of operating in the frequency bands within the 25 MHz to 1 000 MHz 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.

NOTE 1: It should be noted that table 1 represents the most widely implemented position within the European Union and the CEPT countries, but it should not be assumed that all designated bands are available in all countries.

NOTE 2: In addition, it should be noted that other frequency bands may be available in a country within the frequency range 25 MHz to 1 000 MHz for SRD covered by the present document. See European Commission Decisions on Short Range Devices [i.3] and [i.4] and CEPT/ERC/REC 70-03 [i.6] as implemented through National Radio Interfaces (NRI) or additional NRI as relevant.

NOTE 3: On non-harmonized parameters, national administrations may impose certain conditions such as the type of modulation, frequency, channel/frequency separations, maximum transmitter radiated power, duty cycle, and the inclusion of an automatic transmitter shut-off facility, as a condition for the issue of Individual Rights for use of spectrum or General Authorization, or as a condition for use under "licence exemption" as it is in most cases for Short Range Devices.

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

The present document is intended to cover the provisions of article 3.2 of Directive 1999/5/EC [i.1] (R&TTE Directive). The present 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 [i.1].

NOTE 4: A list of such ENs is included on the web site http://www.newapproach.org.
