  Schedule 1 varies the Radiocommunications (Low Interference Potential Devices) Class Licence 2000.

 

Schedule 1 Variations

(section 3)

 

[1] Section 3A, after definition of device compliance day

insert

ETSI means the European Telecommunications Standards Institute.

[2] Section 3A, after definition of low interference potential device

insert

maximum EIRP means the largest amount of equivalent isotropically radiated power that is radiated in any direction from either of the following:

 (a) an antenna that is an integral part of the transmitter;

 (b) an antenna that is connected to the transmitter.

[3] Schedule 1, after item 32

insert

32A

Radiofrequency identification transmitters

920–926

4 W

1. A transmitter mentioned in this item must comply with ISO/IEC 180006c (RFID Gen. 2).

2. Emissions in the band below 917.75 MHz must be no greater than 37 dBm EIRP.

3. Emissions above 926 MHz must be no greater than 33 dBm EIRP.

4. A transmitter mentioned in this item must not be used unless more than 1 Watt EIRP is necessary to achieve satisfactory system performance.

 

Note   ISO/IEC 180006c (RFID Gen. 2) refers to an international standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The international standard is included in a document titled Information Technology — Radio frequency identification for item management — Part 6: Parameters for air interface communications at 860 MHz to 960 MHz. The document is numbered ISO/IEC 180006:2004 and is available on the internet at http://www.saiglobal.com.
