COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION  
amending Decision 2006/771/EC as regards technological and market developments in 
the area of radio spectrum use for short -range devices

 ANNEX  
 
“ANNEX  
Frequency bands with corresponding harmonised technical conditions and implementation deadlines for short -range devices  
Table 1 defines the scope of different categories of short -range devices (defined in Article 2(3)) to which the present Decision applies. Ta ble 2 specifies 
different combinations of frequency band and category of short -range devices, and the harmonised technical c onditions for spectrum access and 
implementation deadlines applicable thereto.  
General technical conditions applicable  to all bands and short -range devices that  fall with in the scope of this  Decision:  
- Member States must allow adjacent frequency bands set out in  Table  2 to be used as a single frequency band provided the specific conditions of 
each of these adjacent frequency bands are met.  
- Member States must allow the usage of spectrum up to the transmit power, field strength or power density  set out in Table 2. Pursuant to  Article 
3(3) of this Decision , they may impose less restrictive conditions, that is to say  allow the use of spectrum with higher transmit power, field strength 
or power density, provided it does not reduce or compromise the appropri ate coexistence between short- range devices in bands harmonised by this 
Decision.  
- Member States may only impose the additional parameters  (channelling and/or channel access and occupation rules ) set out in Table  2, and must  
not add other parameters or spectrum access and mitigation requirements. Less restrictive conditions pursuant to  Article 3(3), mean s that Member 
States may completely omit these additional parameters in a given cell or allow higher values, provided that t he appropriate sharing environment in 
the harmonised band is not compromised.  
- Member States may only impose the other usage restrictions  set out  in Table 2 and must not add additional usage restrictions. Since  less restrictive 
conditions may be applied pur suant to  Article 3(3), Member States may omit one or all of these restrictions, provided that the appropriate sharing 
environment in the harmonised band is not compromised.  
- Less restrictive conditions pursuant to Article 3(3) must not compromise the essential requirements set out in Article 3 of Directive 2014/53/EU and must apply 
without prejudic e to that Directive.  
  
For the purposes of this Annex, the following duty cycle definition applies : 
 
‘duty cycle ’ means  the ratio, expressed as a percentage,  of Σ(Ton)/(Tobs) where Ton is the “on” time of a single transmitter device and Tobs is the 
observation period. Ton is measured in an observation frequency band (Fobs). Unless otherwise specified in this technical ann ex, Tobs is a continuous one  
2 
 hour perio d and Fobs is the applicable frequency band in this technical annex. Less restrictive conditions within the meaning of Articl e 3(3), mean that 
Member States may allow a higher value for ‘duty cycle’.  
 
  
Table 1  
Categories of short -range devices pursuant  to Article 2(3) and their scope  
Category of short -range devices  Scope  
Non-specific short -range devices  
(SRDs)  Covers all kinds of radio devices, regardless of the application or the ir purpose, which fulfil the technical conditions as specified 
for a given frequency band. Typical uses include telemetry, telecommand, alarms, data transmissions in general and other 
applications.  
Active medical implant devices  Covers the radio part of act ive implantable medical devices that are intended to be fully  or partially introduced, surgically or 
medically, into the human body or that of an animal, and where applicable their peripherals. Active implantable medical devic es 
are defined in Council Directive 90/385/EEC1. 
Assistive listening devices (ALD s) Covers radio communications systems that allow persons with hearing impairment to increase their listening capability. Typical 
system installations include one or more radio transmitters and one or  more radio receivers.  
High duty cycle/continuous 
transmission devices  Covers radio devices that rely on low latency and high duty cycle transmissions. These devices are typically used for personal 
wireless audio and multimedia streaming systems used for combined audio/video transmissions and audio/video sync signals, 
mobile phones, automotive or home entertainment system, wireless microphones, cordless loudspeakers, cordless headphones, 
radio devices  carried on a person , assistive listening devices, in -ear monitoring, wireless microphones for use at concerts or other 
stage productions, and low power analogue FM transmitters.   
  
Inductive devices  Covers radio devices that use magnetic fields with inductive loop systems for near field communications. . This t ypical ly 
include s devices for car immobilisation, animal identification, alarm systems, cable detection, waste management, personal 
identification, wireless voice links, access control, proximity sensors, anti -theft systems as well as RF anti -theft induction 
                                                           
1 Council Directive 90/385/EEC of 20 June 1990 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to active implant able medical devices (OJ L 
189, 20.7.1990, p. 17).

 systems , data transfer to hand -held devices, automatic article identification, wireless control systems and automatic road tolling.  
 
Low duty cycle/high reliability 
devices  Covers radio devices that rely on low overall spectrum utilisation and l ow duty cycle spectrum access rules to ensure highly 
reliable spectrum access and transmissions in shared bands. Typical applications include alarm systems that use radio 
communication for indicating an alert condition at a distant location and social alar m systems that allow reliable communication 
for a person in distress.  
Medical data acquisition devices  Covers the transmission of non -voice data to and from non -implantable medical devices in order to  monitor, diagnos e and treat 
patients in healthcare fac ilities or in their  home s as prescribed by duly authorised healthcare professionals.  
PMR446  devices   
 Covers hand  portable equipment (without  base station or repeater use) carried on a person or manually operated, which uses 
integral antennas only in order to maximise sharing and minimise interference. PMR 446 equipment operates in short -range  peer -
to-peer mode and must not be used neither as a part of infrastructure network nor as a repeater.  
Radio determination devices  Covers radio devices used for determining the position, velocity and/or other characteristics of an object, or for obtaining 
information relating to these  parameters. Radio determination  equipment typically conducts measurements to obtain such 
characteris tics. Radio determination devices exclude a ny kind of point -to-point or point -to-multipoint radio communications.  
Radio frequency identification 
(RFID) devices Covers tag/interrogator based radio communications systems, consisting of (i) radio devices (tags) attached to animate or 
inanimate items and (ii) transmitter/receiver units (interrogators) which activate the tags and receive data back. Typical 
applications include the tracking and identification of items, for instance   for the purpose of  electronic article surveillance (EAS), 
and collecting and transmitting data relating to the items to which tags are attached, which may be either battery -less, battery 
assisted or battery powered. The responses from a tag are validated by its interr ogator and passed to its host system. 
Transport and traffic telematics 
devices  Covers radio devices that are used in the fields of transport (road, rail, water or air, depending on the relevant technical 
restrictions), traffic management, navigation, mobi lity management and in intelligent transport systems (ITS). Typical 
applications include  interfaces between different modes of transport, communication between vehicles (e.g. car to car), between 
vehicles and fixed locations (e.g. car to infrastructure) as  well as communication from and to users.  
Wideband data transmission 
devices  Covers radio devices that use wideband modulation techniques to access the spectrum. Typical uses include wireless access 
systems such as radio local area networks (WAS/RLANs) or  wideband SRDs in data networks.

Applications and devices refer red to in Table 2:  
[a] ‘Metering devices ’ means  radio devices that are part of bidirectional radio communications systems which allow remote monitoring, measuring and transmission of data in 
smart grid infrastructures, such as electricity, gas and water.  
[b] ‘Social alarm devices’ means  radio communications systems that allow reliable communication for a person in distress in a confined area to initiate a call  for assis tance. 
Typical uses of social alarm are to assist elderly or disabled people.  
[c] ‘Tank Level Probing Radar’ (TLPR) means a specific type of radiodetermination application, which is used for tank level measurements and is installed in metallic or 
reinforced concrete tanks, or similar structures made of material with comparable attenuation characteristics. The purpose of the tank  is to contain a substance.  
[d] ‘Model control devices ’ means  a specific kind of telecommand and telemetry radio equipment that is used to remotely control the movement of models (principally 
miniature representations of vehicles) in the air, on land or over or under the water surface.  
[e] An alarm system is a device which uses radio communication support for indicating an alert to a system or a person, as a main functionnality, at a distant location when a 
problem or a specific situation occurs. Radio alarms include social alarms and alarms for security and safety.  
[f] Medical Body Area Network Systems (MBANSs)  are used for medical da ta acquisition  and are intended for low -power wireless networking of a plurality of body -worn 
sensors and/or actuators as well as of a hub device placed on/around the human body.  
[g] A network access point in a data network is a fixed terrestrial short -range device that acts as a connection point for the other short -range devices in the data network to 
service platforms located outside of that data network. The term data network refers to several short -range devices, including the network access point, a s network 
components and to the wireless connections between them.  
[h] Wireless medical capsule endoscopy is used for medical data acquisition designed for use in medical doctor -patient scenarios with the aim of acquiring images of human 
digestive tract.   
46 
 [i] Smart tachograph, weight and dimension applications are defined as remote enforcement of the tachograph in Appendix 14 of Com mission Implementing Regulation 
2016/7992 and for the weights and dimensions enforcement in Article 10d of Directive 2015/7193. 
Other  technical requirements and clarifications  referred to in Table 2 : 
[1] In band 20 higher field strengths and additional usage restrictions apply for inductive applications.  
[2] In bands 22, 24, 25, 27a, and 28 higher field strengths and additional usage restrictions apply for inductive applications.  
[3] The power limit applies inside a closed tank and corresponds to a spectral density of - 41,3 dBm/MHz e.i.r.p. outside a 500 litre test tank.  
[4] Member States can specify exclusion zones or equivalent  measures in which the obstacle detection application for rotorcraft use shall not be used for the protection of the 
radioastronomy service or other national use. Rotorcraft is defined as EASA CS -27 and CS -29 (resp. JAR -27 and JAR -29 for former certificati ons);  
[5] Devices shall implement the whole frequency range on a tuning range basis.  
[6] RFID tags respond at a very low power level ( -20 dBm e.r.p.) in a frequency range around the RFID interrogator channels and must comply with the essential 
requirements  of Directive 2014/53/EU.
