(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMI SSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union ,
Having regard to Decision No 676/2002/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 
7 March 2002 on a regulatory framework for radio spectrum policy in the European 
Community (Radio Spectrum Decision)1, and in particular Article 4(3) thereof, 
Whereas:
(1) Commission Decision 2006/771/EC2harmonises the technical conditions for use of 
spectrum for a wide variety of short -range devices, including applications such as 
alarms, local communications equipment, door op eners, medical implants and for 
intelligent transport sy stems. Short -range devices are typicall y mass-market and/or 
portable products which can easily be taken and used across borders; differences in 
spectrum access conditions therefore prevent their free movement, increase their 
production costs and create risks of harmful interference with other radio applications 
and services. 
(2) Decision No 243/2012/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 March 
2012 establishing a multiannual radio spectrum policy programme3(RSPP) requires 
Member States, in cooperation with the Commission, and where appropriate, to foster 
the collective use of spectrum as well as shared use of spectrum in order to enhance 
efficiency and flexibility .
(3) Due to the growing impo rtance of short -range devices for the econom y and the rapid 
changes in technology and societal demands, new applications for short -range devices 
can emerge. These require regular updates of spectrum harmonisation conditions.
(4) On 5 July 2006, the Commission issued a permanent mandate to the European 
Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT), pursuant to 
Article 4(2) of Decision No 676/2002/EC, to update the Annex to Decision 
2006/771/EC in response to technological and market developm ents in the area of 
short -range devices. 
(5) Commission Decisions 2008/432/EC4, 2009/381/EC5, 2010/368/EU6and Commission 
Implementing Decision 2011/829/EU7alread y amended the harmonised technical

Annex.
(6) In its March 2013 report8subm itted in response to the above -mentioned mandate, the 
CEPT informed the Commission ofthe results of the requested examination of the 
‘type of short -range device ’and the ‘other usage restrictio ns’categories in the Annex 
to Decision 2006/771/EC and advised the Commission to amend a number of technical 
aspects in th atAnnex. 
(7) The results of the mandate show that short -range devices operat ing on a non -exclusive 
and shared basis need ,on the one ha nd,legal certainty regarding the possibility to use 
spectrum on a shared basis ,which can be achieved through predictable technical 
shared usage conditions of harmonised bands which ensure reliable and efficient use 
of harmonised bands . The se short range devices also need , on the other hand,
sufficient flexibility  to allow for a large variet y of applications in order to maximise 
the benefits of wireless innovation in the U nion.It is therefore necessary to harmonise
define dtechnical usage conditions to pr event harmful interference and to ensure for as 
much flexibility as possible while foster ing reliable a nd efficient use of frequenc y 
bands byshort -range devices.
(8) The suppression of the notion of 't ype' of short range devices and the harmonisation of 
short range devices categories achieve ssuch purpose . Two kinds of categories would 
each establish predictable sharing environments for a whole group of short -range 
devices. The short -range devices in these categories are grouped either on the basis of 
similar technical spectrum access mechanisms or based on common usage scenarios 
that determine the expected deplo yment density .
(9) The scope of the categories as defined in technical annex provides users with 
predictability in regard to other short -range device that areallowed to use the same 
frequency band on a on a non -exclusive and shared basis . Pursuant to Directive 
1999/5/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio 
equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual r ecognition of 
their conformit y (the R&TTE Directive)9within such categories manufacturers should 
ensure that short -range devices effectively avoid harmful interference to other short -
range devices.
(10) In the specific frequency bands covered bythis Decision , the combination of the 
harmonised short range devices categor yand the technical usage conditions 
(frequency band, transmit power limit/field strength limit/power density limit, 
additional parameters and other usage restrictions) establishes a harmonised sharing 
arrangement in such a way as to allow short range devices to share the use of spectrum 
with each other on a non -exclusive basis ,regardless of the purpose of such use .
(11) In order to safeguard the legal certainty and the predictability  of such harmon ised 
sharing arrangements, the use of harmonised bands either byshort-range devices 
which are not part of aharmonised category or under less restrictive technical 
parameters would onl y be allowed to the extent that the relevant sharing arrangement
is not compromised.
(12) On 6 July 2011, the Commission issued a further mandate to the CEPT, pursuant to 
Article 4(2) of Decision No 676/2002/EC, to undertake the necessary technical studies

OJ L 91, 7.4.1999, p. 10.EN 2 ENin support of a possible review of Decision 2005/928/EC of 20 December 2005 on the 
harmonisation of the 169,4 -169,8125 MHz frequency band in the Community10, to 
ensure the efficient use of the harmonised frequency range in accordance with Article 
5 of that Decision.
(13) In its June 2012 report11submitted in response to the above ment ioned second 
mandate, the CEPT advised the Commission to incorporate existing and additional 
harmonisation measures for low power / short -range devices in the 169 MHz band in 
the forthcoming amendment of the Annex to Decision 2006/771/EC to provide better 
visibility and transparency of the harmonised frequency range (169 .4-1698125 MHz).
(14) Based on results of the CEPT ’swork it is possible to streamline the regulatory 
conditions for short -range devices. The harmonisation of spectrum access conditions 
would ac hieve the objective set by the RSPP to foster the collective use of spectrum in 
the internal market for categories of short -range devices .
(15) The Annex to Decision 2006/771/EC should therefore be amended and Decision 
2005/928/EC should be repealed accordingly . 
(16) Equipment operating within the conditions set in this Decision should also comply 
with Directive 1999/5/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 
1999 on radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual 
recognit ion of their conformity12in order to use the spectrum effectivel y so as to avoid 
harmful interference, demonstrated either b y meeting harmonised standards or b y 
fulfilling alternative conformity assessment procedures.
(17) The measures provided for in this Deci sion are in accordance with the opinion of the 
Radio Spectrum Committee ,

[iv] Member States may onlyimpose these ‘additional parameters (channelling and/or channel

determining the position, velocity and/or other characteristics of an object, or for obtaining 
information relating to these parameters. Ty pical uses are various kinds of measurement

responses from a tag are validated b y its interrogator and passed to its host sy stem.

fields of transport (road, rail, water or air, depending on the relevant technical restrictions), 
traffic management, navigation, mobility management and in intelligent transport sy stems
