Radio equipment Directive (2014/53/EU)

Last Official Journal reference

Friday 4th of September 2026

Description:

Short Range Devices (SRD); Radio equipment to be used in the 1 GHz to 40 GHz frequency range; Harmonised Standard covering the essential requirements of article 3.2 of Directive 2014/53/EU

Purpose

The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for the following equipment
types:
1) Non specific Short Range Devices, including alarms, telecommand, telemetry, data transmission in general,
etc.
2) Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) devices.
3) Radiodetermination devices including detection, movement and alert applications.
These radio equipment types are capable of operating in the permitted frequency bands within the 1 GHz to 40 GHz
range as specified in table 1:
1) with either a Radio Frequency (RF) output connection and dedicated antenna or an integral antenna;
2) for all types of modulation;
3) with or without speech.
Table 1 shows a list of the frequency bands as designated by the European Commission Decisions on Short Range
Devices [i.5] and the CEPT/ERC Recommendation 70-03 [i.2] as known at the date of publication of the present
document.

NOTE: (a) and (b) refer to two different operational restrictions for different power levels in the same frequency
band.
NOTE 1: Table 1 represents the most widely implemented position within the European Union [i.5] and the CEPT
countries [i.2], but it should not be assumed that all designated bands are available in all countries.
NOTE 2: In addition, it should be noted that other frequency bands may be available in a country within the
frequency range 1 GHz to 40 GHz covered by the present document. See the European Commission
Decisions on Short Range Devices [i.5] and the CEPT ERC Recommendation 70-03 [i.2] as implemented
through National Radio Interfaces (NRI) and additional NRI as relevant.
NOTE 3: On non-harmonised parameters, national administrations may impose certain conditions such as the type
of modulation, frequency, channel/frequency separations, maximum transmitter radiated power, duty
cycle, and the inclusion of an automatic transmitter shut-off facility, as a condition for the issue of an
individual or general licence, or as a condition for the issuing of Individual Rights for use of spectrum or
General Authorization, or as a condition for use "under licence exemption" as it is in most cases for Short
Range Devices.
The present document covers fixed stations, mobile stations and portable stations.
Applications using Ultra Wide Band (UWB) technology are not covered by the present document.
The present document covers the essential requirements of article 3.2 of Directive 2014/53/EU [i.6] under the
conditions identified in annex A.
