The use of the alert sign is determined by whether or not it's Class 1 equipment under the R&TTE directive - under Class 1 designation, the operating frequency needs to be harmonized at EU member countries, and the regulating standards are harmonized also.
The current list of class 1 devices is at this link http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/sectors/rtte/files/rtte_subclass_july2012_en.pdf It may be advisable to check with R&TTE notified body or EU spectrum management authorities (SMAs) if unsure due to the product's unique design On Thursday, July 31, 2014 1:38 PM, Dave Heald <[email protected]> wrote: Hi all, I know the 2.4 GHz band for WiFi no longer requires the Alert sign as the last restriction on use fell out in 2012, but I have a question on the 5GHz bands: Specifically, if there is an EU-wide restriction on use (indoor use with power limits based on sub-band), is the Alert symbol still required? If it is not, what is the rationale for excluding it? Note that I have been operating under the assumption that the Alert sign is required, but I haven't had to make the decision on whether or not to apply the Alert sign since 2011 when the 2.4GHz band still required it, so I want to check & be sure.
