2.1 CEPT ERC Recommendation 70-03

A summary of the recommendation for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band Short Range Devices (SRD) are provided based on the 7 June 2019 edition of CEPT ERC Recommendation 70-03. The complete document can be downloaded from this site: ERC Recommendation 70-03. Direct links to documents and other useful links from CEPT can also be found at this site: ECO Documentation Database. The CEPT ERC recommendation 70-03 for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands and their application are shown in Table 2-1.

(1) EIRP = effective isotropic radiated power.

The 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands are covered by ERC decision, which means that these are harmonized bands in most of Europe. Being a harmonized band means that the Member States should allow the putting into service and use of radio equipment if it complies with the RED when it is properly installed, maintained, and used for its intended purpose.
