No argument there. My apology for using the concept of spectrum and frequency band too loosely. A frequency is harmonized when it is allowed (harmonized) throughout all of the member countries per the power levels indicated in the harmonized standard. To confirm that there are no restrictions by specific countries, one refers to REC 70-03. If the frequency is thus harmonized (allowed in all countries with power levels per the harmonized standard), then the alert symbol is not required.

There is harmonized and there is harmonized. A transmitter has harmonized test standards, harmonized frequencies and harmonized parameters. In a case of WLAN it also depends on the power levels. For example is France the frequency range of 2454-2483.5 MHz has a restriction of 10mW for outdoor use. So, if your WLAN eirp does not meet the 10mW requirement it is ‘restricted’ in its use. The RTTED article 6.3 states “Where it concerns radio equipment, such information shall be sufficient to identify on the packaging and the instructions for use of the apparatus the Member States or the geographical area within a Member State where the equipment is intended to be used and shall alert the user by the marking on the apparatus referred to in Annex VII, paragraph 5, to potential restrictions or requirements for authorisation of use of the radio equipment in certain Member States.” Since the 10 mW limit is a restriction on use in France, if the eirp of the device is more than 10mW this should be made clear in the user information and the marking as mentioned in Annex VII paragraph 5 should be use. thanks Dennis Ward Evaluation Engineer AmericanTCB Certification Resource for the Wireless Industry www.atcb.com <http://www.americantcb.com/> (703) 847-4700 Direct: (703) 880 4841 NOTICE: This E-Mail message and any attachment may contain privileged or company proprietary information.

Dear All, I was under impression, based on the last year changes, that the wireless LAN, 802.11 a/b/g devices, as well as other product categories under R&TTE directive are no longer required to use NB opinion and to apply their number with CE ! mark. But now I received an information, that it is a still request in Germany. Could someone please respond with some clarifications or similar experience?
