Kevin, CEPT/ERC publish different kinds of documents: Decisions, Recommendations and Reports.
Reports are just that - reports. Decisions are essentially instructions to radio regulatory authorities around Europe (like the UK Radiocommunications Agency) to either adopt certain ETSI standards for type approval purposes or allocate certain frequency bands for particular applications. Recommendations are the same thing but, as the name implies, they are only recommendations to the regulatory authorities. It is often quite difficult to determine which regulatory authorities have adopted which decisions/recommendations but, as I understand it, ERC/REC/70-03 is being quite widely implemented. The current version can be downloaded (along with all decisions and recommendations) from the ERO website at www.ero.dk. I don't believe it has changed since 1997 but I'm not 100% certain.

Do these documents get used as basis for a document that gets published in the OJ, or are they in fact just recommendations and national laws take precedence. 2. Has the remarks/restrictions area for Annex 7 (Alarms) changed at all since 1997 Thanks for you help Regards, Kevin Harris Manager, Compliance Engineering Digital Security Controls 1645 Flint Road Downsview, Ontario CANADA M3J 2J6 Tel +1 416 665 8460 Ext. 378 Fax +1 416 665 7753 email harr...@dscltd.com
