EVS-EN 300 330 V2.1.1:2017

The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for the following Short Range Device major equipment types:
1) Generic Short range Devices including transmitters and receivers operating in the range from 9 kHz to
25 MHz; and
2) inductive loop transmitters and receivers operating from 9 kHz to 30 MHz including Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID), Near Field Communication (NFC) and Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) operating
in LF and HF ranges.
Also the present document covers fixed, mobile and portable stations.
NOTE: If a system includes transponders, these are measured together with the transmitter.
These radio equipment types are capable of operating in the permitted frequency bands within the 9 kHz to 30 MHz range as specified in table 1.

NOTE 1: In addition, it should be noted that other frequency bands may be available in a country within the frequency
range 9 kHz to 30 MHz.
NOTE 2: 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 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.
NOTE 3: Transmitting only on receipt of a Balise/Eurobalise tele-powering signal from a train.
The frequency ranges and limits of the present document are based on the European Commission Decision for
SRDs [i.10], CEPT/ERC/REC 70-03 [i.1].
When selecting parameters for new SRDs, which may have inherent safety of human life implications, manufacturers
and users should pay particular attention to the potential for interference from other systems operating in the same or
adjacent bands.
The radio equipment, covered by the present document is divided into several classes which are dependent on the
antenna used (see annex B). Three types of measuring methods are defined in the present document due to the varied
nature of the antenna types for equipment used in this band. One method measures the RF carrier current, another measures the radiated H-field and the third conducted power.
The present document covers the essential requirements of article 3.2 of Directive 2014/53/EU [i.4] under the
conditions identified in annex A.
