Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2025/105

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Decision No 676/2002/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on a regulatory framework for radio spectrum policy in the European Community (Radio Spectrum Decision)^note, and in particular Article 4(3) thereof,Whereas:

(1)Short-range devices are typically mass-market or portable radio equipment, or both, that can easily be carried and used across borders. Differences in spectrum access conditions risk creating harmful interference with other radio applications and services, prevent their free movement, and increase their production costs.

(2)Commission Decision 2006/771/EC^note and Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2018/1538^note constitute the regulatory framework for short-range devices, which supports innovation for a wide range of applications within the digital single market.

(3)Decision 2006/771/EC harmonises the technical conditions for spectrum use for a wide variety of short-range devices in application areas such as alarms, local communications, telecommand, medical implants and medical data gathering, intelligent transport systems and the ‘Internet of Things’ including radio-frequency identification (‘RFID’). As a result, short-range devices that respect these harmonised technical conditions are subject to no more than a general authorisation under national law.

(4)Implementing Decision (EU) 2018/1538 also harmonises the technical conditions for spectrum use by short-range devices within the 874-874,4 and 915-919,4 MHz frequency bands. In these frequency bands, the sharing environment is different from the rest of the radio spectrum used by short-range devices and requires a specific regulatory regime. That Decision enables technically advanced RFID solutions as well as ‘Internet of Things’ applications based on networked short-range devices in data networks.

(5)New applications for short-range devices regularly emerge due to the growing importance of these devices for the economy and the rapid changes in technology and societal demands. Such applications require regular updates of harmonised technical conditions for spectrum use.

(6)Based on the permanent mandate that the Commission has issued to the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (‘the CEPT’) in July 2006, pursuant to Article 4(2) of Decision No 676/2002/EC, the Annex to Decision 2006/771/EC should be updated in order to reflect technological and market developments in the area of short-range devices. That Annex has been amended eight times. The work carried out on the basis of the permanent mandate to the CEPT was also the basis for Implementing Decision (EU) 2018/1538 providing additional spectrum for short-range devices within the 874-874,4 and 915-919,4 MHz frequency ranges.

(7)On 21 October 2021, the Commission issued a guidance letter for the ninth update cycle. In response to the permanent mandate to the CEPT and in accordance with that guidance, the CEPT submitted Report 85 to the Commission on 8 March 2024. In addition to improvements of existing entries applicable to active medical implants, RFID, voice and video applications and assistive listening devices, the CEPT proposes to add new entries to the Annex to Decision 2006/771/EC. Those new entries enable the use of spectrum by ground-based Synthetic Aperture Radar (‘SAR’) systems and security scanners. The report should therefore form the technical basis for this Decision.

(8)In Report 85, the CEPT also proposed to include in the Annex to Decision 2006/771/EC technical conditions applicable to audio devices for programme making and special events (‘audio PMSE devices’) that use 32,3 MHz of harmonised spectrum in the 800 MHz and 1800 MHz frequency bands and recommended that Commission Implementing Decision 2014/641/EU^note is repealed.

(9)The Commission, in its Communication of 26 September 2012 to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions^note, recognised cultural and creative industries as one of Europe’s most dynamic economic sectors and an essential driver of cultural diversity in Europe. In particular, Article 8(5) of Decision No 243/2012/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council^note, stresses the importance of PMSE and requires Member States, in cooperation with the Commission, to seek to ensure the necessary frequency bands for such equipment, in accordance with the Union’s objectives to improve the integration of the internal market and access to culture.

(10)The requirements for social and cultural events will often exceed the amount of 32,3 MHz available in the 800 MHz and 1800 MHz frequency bands. Since the spectrum requirements for audio PMSE use vary significantly, there is a need to ensure at Union level the availability of at least 62,3 MHz of sustainable spectrum to meet recurring ordinary needs for users of audio PMSE devices.

(11)The additional amount of at least 30 MHz of spectrum to meet possible demand for audio PMSE applications at social and cultural events should be selected from tuning ranges to be decided by Member States, preferably in the 470-790 MHz spectrum range.

(12)Short-range devices operating within the conditions set out in this Decision should also comply with Directive 2014/53/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council^note.

(13)Decision 2006/771/EC should therefore be amended and Implementing Decision 2014/641/EU should be repealed accordingly.

(14)The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Radio Spectrum Committee,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1 #

Decision 2006/771/EC is amended as follows:

(1)in Article 3, the following paragraph is added after paragraph 2:‘2a.Member States shall designate and make available radio spectrum in addition to the spectrum harmonised by this Decision for audio PMSE devices, so that in complement to the bands identified in the Annex, an additional amount of at least 30 MHz can be used for audio PMSE devices, subject to user demand. Such use by audio PMSE devices shall be on a non-interference and non-protected basis with regard to users who have an individual right to use such spectrum.’;

(2)in Article 4a, the date ‘1 October 2022’ is replaced by the date ‘1 November 2025’;

(3)the Annex is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Decision.

Article 2 #

Implementing Decision 2014/641/EU is repealed with effect from 1 July 2025.

Article 3 #

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

‘’

Frequency bands with corresponding harmonised technical conditions and implementation deadlines for short-range devices

—Member States shall allow adjacent frequency bands set out in Table 2 to be used as a single frequency band provided the specific conditions of each of these adjacent frequency bands are met.

—Member States shall allow the usage of spectrum up to the transmit power, field strength or power density set out in Table 2. Pursuant to Article 3(3), they may impose less restrictive conditions, that is to say allow the use of spectrum with higher transmit power, field strength or power density, provided it does not reduce or compromise the appropriate coexistence between short-range devices in bands harmonised by this Decision.

—Member States may only impose the additional parameters (channelling and/or channel access and occupation rules) set out in Table 2, and shall not add other parameters or spectrum access and mitigation requirements. Less restrictive conditions pursuant to Article 3(3), means that Member States may completely omit these additional parameters in a given cell or allow higher values, provided that the appropriate sharing environment in the harmonised band is not compromised.

—Member States may only impose the other usage restrictions set out in Table 2 and shall not add additional usage restrictions. Since less restrictive conditions may be applied pursuant to Article 3(3), Member States may omit one or all of these restrictions, provided that the appropriate sharing environment in the harmonised band is not compromised.

—Less restrictive conditions pursuant to Article 3(3) shall apply without prejudice to Directive 2014/53/EU.

Table 1 defines the scope of different categories of short-range devices (defined in Article 2(3)) to which this Decision applies. Table 2 specifies different combinations of frequency band and category of short-range devices, and the harmonised technical conditions for spectrum access and implementation deadlines applicable thereto.

General technical conditions applicable to all bands and short-range devices that fall within the scope of this Decision:

For the purposes of this Annex, the following duty cycle definition applies:

“duty cycle” means the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of Σ(Ton)/(Tobs) where Ton is the “on” time of a single transmitter device and Tobs is the observation period. Ton is measured in an observation frequency band (Fobs). Unless otherwise specified in this technical annex, Tobs is a continuous one hour period and Fobs is the applicable frequency band in this technical annex. Less restrictive conditions within the meaning of Article 3(3), mean that Member States may allow a higher value for “duty cycle”.
