Are RFID tags (e.g., access control badges) considered to be
transmitters/receivers and thus subject to the RTTE Directive? These types
of tags are powered by a received signal, may receive a coded signal, and
they respond with a coded signal. They are obviously very low power devices
and the transmit power is far below that of their interrogator. But the
nagging fact remains that they are transponders.
