Applications and devices referred to in Table 2:[a]‘Metering devices’ means radio devices that are part of bidirectional radio communications systems which allow remote monitoring, measuring and transmission of data in smart grid infrastructures, such as electricity, gas and water.[b]‘Social alarm devices’ means radio communications systems that allow reliable communication for a person in distress in a confined area to initiate a call for assistance. Typical uses of social alarm are to assist elderly or disabled people.[c]‘Tank Level Probing Radar’ (TLPR) means a specific type of radiodetermination application, which is used for tank level measurements and is installed in metallic or reinforced concrete tanks, or similar structures made of material with comparable attenuation characteristics. The purpose of the tank is to contain a substance.[d]‘Model control devices’ means a specific kind of telecommand and telemetry radio equipment that is used to remotely control the movement of models (principally miniature representations of vehicles) in the air, on land or over or under the water surface.[e]An alarm system is a device which uses radio communication support for indicating an alert to a system or a person, as a main functionality, at a distant location when a problem or a specific situation occurs. Radio alarms include social alarms and alarms for security and safety.[f]Medical Body Area Network Systems (MBANSs) are used for medical data acquisition and are intended for low-power wireless networking of a plurality of body-worn sensors and/or actuators as well as of a hub device placed on/around the human body.[g]A network access point in a data network is a fixed terrestrial short-range device that acts as a connection point for the other short-range devices in the data network to service platforms located outside of that data network. The term data network refers to several short-range devices, including the network access point, as network components and to the wireless connections between them.[h]Wireless medical capsule endoscopy is used for medical data acquisition designed for use in medical doctor-patient scenarios with the aim of acquiring images of human digestive tract.[i]Smart tachograph, weight and dimension applications are defined as remote enforcement of the tachograph in Appendix 14 of Commission Implementing Regulation 2016/799^note and for the weights and dimensions enforcement in Article 10d of Directive 2015/719^note.[j]Enclosed NMR sensors are devices where the material/object under investigation is put inside the enclosure of the NMR device. NMR techniques use nuclear magnetic resonance excitation and magnetic field strength response of a material/object under test to get information about material properties based on resonance frequency responses of isotopes of atoms. Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance tomography systems are not included in this scope.
