Guidance available at: http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/sectors/ tte/documents/interpretation/#h2-36.-pa sive-rfid-tags-at-the-stage-of-placing-on-the-market-and-the-rtte-directive regards Charlie From: Monrad Monsen [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 05 January 2010 16:32 To: [email protected] Subject: [PSES] RFID and the R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC 1. Are passive RFID tags regulated under the European R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC? I note that RFID tags can only transmit a weak signal after being energized and queried by a much more powerful RFID reader. I am confident that RFID readers must comply with the European R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC, but I am hopeful that I don't need to do anything for RFID tags. I know that FCC does not require any test reports or approvals for RFID tags. 2. If the answer to question #1 is "yes", then would a server that has an RFID tag mounted on its exterior then become regulated under the European R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC? RFID = Radio Frequency Identification R&TTE = Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Thanks. -- Monrad L.
