That´s the problem: The "Rec. 70-03" has no legal status. I have asked our German BNetzA authority. The statement was: You have only the possiblity to contact every national authority regarding the "implementation status" (class 1 or 2).# For our customers we are analyzing on a quarterly basis the "single national regulations/general licences in every EU member states" for short range devices regarding the implementation status.

September 2007 22:09 An: [email protected] Cc: Bill Ashley Betreff: EU RFID Spectrum Harmonization I see that the spectrum for UHF RFID was harmonized in Nov 2006 COMMISSION DECISION of 23 November 2006 on harmonisation of the radio spectrum for radio frequency identification (RFID) devices operating in the ultra high frequency (UHF) band (notified under document number C(2006) 5599) (2006/804/EC). The May 2007 ERC 70-03 indicates that the member countries are either “not implemented” (Appendix 1) or “no information” (Appendix 3). <http://www.ero.dk/documentation/docs/doc98/official/pdf/REC7003E.PDF> http://www.ero.dk/documentation/docs/doc98/official/pdf/REC7003E.PDF I understand that a declaration of conformity for the RTTE directive needs to indicate any exceptions to Class 1. A Class 2 device would be indicated by the “!” symbol. Are all of the countries not indicating Class 1 in Appendix 1 assumed to be Class 2 due to the harmonized spectrum announced in 2006? Is there any other guidance documents issued by an appropriate EU legal entity that defines the requirement more clearly?
