COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2019/1345

of 2 August 2019

amending Decision 2006/771/EC updating harmonised technical conditions in the area of radio spectrum use for short-range devices

(notified under document C(2019) 5660)

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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) | Short-range devices are typically mass-market or portable radio equipment, or both, that can easily be carried and used across borders. Differences in spectrum access conditions risk creating harmful interference with other radio applications and services, prevent their free movement, and increase their production costs. |

(1)

Short-range devices are typically mass-market or portable radio equipment, or both, that can easily be carried and used across borders. Differences in spectrum access conditions risk creating harmful interference with other radio applications and services, prevent their free movement, and increase their production costs.

| (2) | Commission Decision 2006/771/EC (2) harmonises the technical conditions for spectrum use for a wide variety of short-range devices in applications areas such as alarms, local communications, telecommand, medical implants and medical data gathering, intelligent transport systems and the ‘Internet of Things’ including radio-frequency identification (‘RFID’). As a result, short-range devices that respect these harmonised technical conditions are subject to no more than a general authorisation under national law. |

| (7) | On 20 October 2017, the Commission issued its guidance letter for the seventh update cycle (RSCOM17-24rev1). In response, CEPT submitted to the Commission its Report 70 on 8 March 2019. In addition to simplification of and improvements to existing entries, the CEPT proposes to add new entries to the Annex to Decision 2006/771/EC. Those new entries make new medical and safety-related applications possible and harmonise spectrum for non-safety related applications of intelligent transport systems and for road traffic enforcement applications. Therefore, that report should be the technical basis for this Decision. |

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 annex, Tobs is a continuous one hour period and Fobs is the applicable frequency band in this technical annex. Less restrictive conditions within the meaning of Article 3(3), mean that Member States may allow a higher value for “duty cycle”.
