2 Regulation Overview

The use of radio equipment in most European countries is regulated through the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) 2014/53/EU. The RED 2014/53/EU establishes a regulatory framework for placing radio equipment on the market. It ensures a single market for radio equipment by setting essential requirements for safety and health, electromagnetic compatibility, and the efficient use of the radio spectrum. It also provides the basis for further regulation governing some additional aspects. These include technical features for the protection of privacy, personal data and protection against fraud. Furthermore, additional aspects cover interoperability, access to emergency services, and compliance regarding the combination of radio equipment and software. This directive defines the general requirements for radio operation. The actual standards to comply with are written by standardization bodies like The European Standardization Organizations (ESOs), which contains the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), the European Committee for Electro-technical Standardization (CENELEC) and European Telecommunications Institute (ETSI). The standardization organizations are private bodies, composed of industry experts and other stakeholders, and are fully independent from the Commission.

CEPT (The European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations) has the responsibility for the allocation of frequency bands, maximum TX power levels, channel spacing or modulation/maximum occupied bandwidth and duty cycle. This is described in the ERC recommendation CEPT/ERC/70-03.

ETSI has developed harmonized European standards in support of the RED (2014/53/EU) for the majority of SRDs and also defines the test methodologies and general transceiver specifications. Different frequency bands and the use of equipment are covered by different standards. In this document the regulations of the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands are reviewed. The 2.4 GHz and 5GHz ISM bands are covered by the following standards:
