The RTTE is replaced, in part by the RED (Radio Equipment Directive – 
2014/53/EU) which covers the ‘use of spectrum’ topic and no longer calls for 
the alert symbol.

From RED …
“Article 50
Repeal
Directive 1999/5/EC is repealed with effect from 13 June 2016.
References to the repealed Directive shall be construed as references to this 
Directive and shall be read in accordance with the correlation table in Annex 
VIII.

Article 51
Entry into force
This Directive shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of 
its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. [i.e. early 
June, 2014]”

I think the above means the RED is in transition and you may chose to follow it 
vs. the RTTED. Thus an alert symbol might not be required.

Subject: [PSES] 802.11a (5GHz WiFi) requires CE Alert sign, right?

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.

Thanks,
-Dave Heald
