11.2 RF regulations in EU countries and the USA
Configuration of the RFID readers and the maximum transmitting power of the antennas are
affected mainly by the country-specific RF regulations. For the entire EU the limits are set forth in
the R&TTE Directive and EN 300 330. In North America this is regulated by FCC Part 15 (USA)
and by the RSS-210 (Canada).
The ID ISC.ANT800/600 antenna with the ID ISC.LRM2500 Reader, when used as intended,
complies with the basic requirements of Article 3 and the other relevant clauses of the R&TTE
Directive 1999/5/EG of March 1999. This means that operation in the 27 EU countries and the
EFTA countries (EU countries plus Switzerland, Norway and Iceland) is possible with a maximum
field strength of 42 dBµA/m at 10 m distance.
RF approval (at a maximum field strength of 84 dBµV/m at 30 m) for the ID ISC.ANT800/600
antenna with ID ISC.LRM2500 Reader has been granted in accordance with FCC Part 15 for the
USA and the RSS-210 for Canada
RF approval in accordance with EN 300 330 is still possible in all 46 CEPT countries.
The CEPT countries are:
Albania (ALB), Andorra (AND), Austria (AUT), Azerbaijan (AZE), Belarus (BLR), Belgium (BEL),
Bulgaria (BUL), Bosnia and Herzegovina (BIH), Croatia (HRV), Cyprus (CYP), Czech Republic
(CZE), Denmark (DNK), Estonia (EST), Finland (FIN), France (F), Germany (D), Greece (GRC),
Hungary (HNG), Iceland (ISL), Ireland (IRL), Italy (I), Latvia (LVA), Liechtenstein (LIE), Lithuania
(LTU), Luxembourg (LUX), Malta (MLT), Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (MKD), Moldova
(MDA), Monaco (MCO), Netherlands (HOL), Norway (NOR), Poland (POL), Portugal (POR),
Romania (ROU), Russian Federation (RUS), San Marino (SMR), Slovak Republic (SVK), Slovenia
(SVN), Spain (E), Sweden (S), Switzerland (SUI), Turkey (TUR), Ukraine (UKR), United Kingdom
(G), Vatican City (CVA) and Yugoslavia.
The following restrictions are in effect (as of: August 2011):
Outside the EU and EFTA countries RF approval must in all cases be applied for. The existing
measuring protocols in accordance with EN 300 330 are generally sufficient.
When starting up, the system integrator should ensure that the prescribed installation instructions
are followed, the necessary Reader settings are performed and the allowed limits of the national
RF regulations are not exceeded.
