Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2025/105of 22 January 2025amending Decision 2006/771/EC updating harmonised technical conditions in the area of radio spectrum use for short-range devices and repealing Implementing Decision 2014/641/EU on harmonised technical conditions of radio spectrum use by wireless audio programme making and special events equipment in the Union(notified under document C(2025) 192)(Text with EEA relevance)

Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2025/105 of 22 January 2025 amending Decision 2006/771/EC updating harmonised technical conditions in the area of radio spectrum use for short-range devices and repealing Implementing Decision 2014/641/EU on harmonised technical conditions of radio spectrum use by wireless audio programme making and special events equipment in the Union (notified under document C(2025) 192) (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) OJ L 108, 24.4.2002, p. 1, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dec/2002/676(1)/oj. , 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. (2) Commission Decision 2006/771/EC Commission Decision 2006/771/EC of 9 November 2006 on harmonisation of the radio spectrum for use by short-range devices (OJ L 312, 11.11.2006, p. 66, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dec/2006/771(2)/oj). and Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2018/1538 Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2018/1538 of 11 October 2018 on the harmonisation of radio spectrum for use by short-range devices within the 874-876 and 915-921 MHz frequency bands (OJ L 257, 15.10.2018, p. 57, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2018/1538/oj). constitute the regulatory framework for short-range devices, which supports innovation for a wide range of applications within the digital single market. (3) Decision 2006/771/EC harmonises the technical conditions for spectrum use for a wide variety of short-range devices in application 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. (4) Implementing Decision (EU) 2018/1538 also harmonises the technical conditions for spectrum use by short-range devices within the 874-874,4 and 915-919,4 MHz frequency bands. In these frequency bands, the sharing environment is different from the rest of the radio spectrum used by short-range devices and requires a specific regulatory regime. That Decision enables technically advanced RFID solutions as well as Internet of Things applications based on networked short-range devices in data networks. (5) New applications for short-range devices regularly emerge due to the growing importance of these devices for the economy and the rapid changes in technology and societal demands. Such applications require regular updates of harmonised technical conditions for spectrum use.

(6) Based on the permanent mandate that the Commission has issued to the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (the CEPT) in July 2006, pursuant to Article 4(2) of Decision No 676/2002/EC, the Annex to Decision 2006/771/EC should be updated in order to reflect technological and market developments in the area of short-range devices. That Annex has been amended eight times. The work carried out on the basis of the permanent mandate to the CEPT was also the basis for Implementing Decision (EU) 2018/1538 providing additional spectrum for short-range devices within the 874-874,4 and 915-919,4 MHz frequency ranges. (7) On 21 October 2021, the Commission issued a guidance letter for the ninth update cycle. In response to the permanent mandate to the CEPT and in accordance with that guidance, the CEPT submitted Report 85 to the Commission on 8 March 2024. In addition to improvements of existing entries applicable to active medical implants, RFID, voice and video applications and assistive listening devices, the CEPT proposes to add new entries to the Annex to Decision 2006/771/EC. Those new entries enable the use of spectrum by ground-based Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) systems and security scanners. The report should therefore form the technical basis for this Decision. (8) In Report 85, the CEPT also proposed to include in the Annex to Decision 2006/771/EC technical conditions applicable to audio devices for programme making and special events (audio PMSE devices) that use 32,3 MHz of harmonised spectrum in the 800 MHz and 1800 MHz frequency bands and recommended that Commission Implementing Decision 2014/641/EU Commission Implementing Decision 2014/641/EU of 1 September 2014 on harmonised technical conditions of radio spectrum use by wireless audio programme making and special events equipment in the Union (OJ L 263, 3.9.2014, p. 29, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2014/641/oj). is repealed. (9) The Commission, in its Communication of 26 September 2012 to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions Promoting cultural and creative sectors for growth and jobs in the EU, COM(2012) 537 final. , recognised cultural and creative industries as one of Europe’s most dynamic economic sectors and an essential driver of cultural diversity in Europe. In particular, Article 8(5) of Decision No 243/2012/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council Decision No 243/2012/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 March 2012 establishing a multiannual radio spectrum policy programme (OJ L 81, 21.3.2012, p. 7, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dec/2012/243(2)/oj). , stresses the importance of PMSE and requires Member States, in cooperation with the Commission, to seek to ensure the necessary frequency bands for such equipment, in accordance with the Union’s objectives to improve the integration of the internal market and access to culture.

(10) The requirements for social and cultural events will often exceed the amount of 32,3 MHz available in the 800 MHz and 1800 MHz frequency bands. Since the spectrum requirements for audio PMSE use vary significantly, there is a need to ensure at Union level the availability of at least 62,3 MHz of sustainable spectrum to meet recurring ordinary needs for users of audio PMSE devices. (11) The additional amount of at least 30 MHz of spectrum to meet possible demand for audio PMSE applications at social and cultural events should be selected from tuning ranges to be decided by Member States, preferably in the 470-790 MHz spectrum range. (12) Short-range devices operating within the conditions set out in this Decision should also comply with Directive 2014/53/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council Directive 2014/53/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to the making available on the market of radio equipment and repealing Directive 1999/5/EC (OJ L 153, 22.5.2014, p. 62, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dir/2014/53/oj). . (13) Decision 2006/771/EC should therefore be amended and Implementing Decision 2014/641/EU should be repealed accordingly. (14) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Radio Spectrum Committee, HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

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 this Decision applies. Table 2 specifies different combinations of frequency band and category of short-range devices, and the harmonised technical conditions for spectrum access and implementation deadlines applicable thereto. General technical conditions applicable to all bands and short-range devices that fall within the scope of this Decision:

Member States shall 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 shall 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), 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 appropriate 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 shall not add other parameters or spectrum access and mitigation requirements. Less restrictive conditions pursuant to Article 3(3), means that Member States may completely omit these additional parameters in a given cell or allow higher values, provided that the 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 shall not add additional usage restrictions. Since less restrictive conditions may be applied pursuant 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) shall apply without prejudice to Directive 2014/53/EU. 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. Table 1 Categories of short-range devices pursuant to Article 2(3) and their scope Council Directive 90/385/EEC of 20 June 1990 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to active implantable medical devices (OJ L 189, 20.7.1990, p. 17). Category of short-range devicesScopeNon-specific short-range devices (SRD)Covers all kinds of radio devices, regardless of the application or their 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 devicesCovers the radio part of active 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 devices are defined in Council Directive 90/385/EEC.Assistive listening devices (ALD)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.Audio Programme Making and Special Events (PMSE) devicesCovers radio devices used for transmission of analogue or digital audio signals between a limited number of transmitters and receivers, such as radio microphones, in-ear monitors or audio links, used mainly for the production of broadcast programmes or private or public social or cultural events.Inductive devicesCovers radio devices that use magnetic fields with inductive loop systems for near field communications and determination applications. This typically includes devices for car immobilisation, animal identification, alarm systems, cable detection, waste management, personal identification, wireless voice links, access control, proximity and metal sensors, anti-theft systems as well as RF anti-theft induction systems, data transfer to hand-held devices, automatic article identification, wireless control systems and automatic road tolling.Reliable alarm devicesCovers radio devices that use radio communication support for indicating an alert to a system or a person, as a main functionality, at a distant location when a problem or a specific situation occurs. Radio alarms include social alarms and alarms for security and safety.Medical data acquisition devicesCovers the transmission of non-voice data to and from non-implantable medical devices in order to monitor, diagnose and treat patients in healthcare facilities or in their homes as prescribed by duly authorised healthcare professionals.PMR446 devicesCovers 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 shall not be used as a part of infrastructure network nor as a repeater.Radio determination devicesCovers 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 characteristics. Radio determination devices exclude any kind of point-to-point or point-to-multipoint radio communications.Radio frequency identification (RFID) devicesCovers 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 interrogator and passed to its host system.

Transport and traffic telematics devicesCovers radio devices that are used in the fields of transport (road, rail, water or air, depending on the relevant technical restrictions), traffic management, navigation, mobility 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 devicesCovers radio devices that use wideband modulation techniques to access the spectrum. Typical uses include wireless access systems such as radio local area networks (WAS/RLAN) or wideband SRD in data networks.
