The Guide to the EMC Directive is not really relevant when considering radio spectrum rules
The relevant piece of EU legislation is “Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/1483 of 8 August 2017 amending Decision 2006/771/EC on harmonisation of the radio spectrum for use by short-range devices and repealing Decision 2006/804/EC (notified under document C(2017) 5464) (Text with EEA relevance. )”, https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/en/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32017D1483 C/2017/5464 [cid:image001.png@01D45BF7.770FC940] [3] The non-specific short-range device category covers all kinds of radio devices, regardless of the application or the purpose, which fulfil the technical conditions as specified for a given frequency band. Typical uses include telemetry, telecommand, alarms, data transmissions in general and other applications. [16] The wideband data transmission device category covers radio devices that use wideband modulation techniques to access the spectrum. Typical uses include wireless access systems such as radio local area networks (WAS/RLANs) or wideband SRDs in data networks. EN 300 328 contains additional requirements for spectrum sharing, but these are not applicable for devices that transmit < 10mW EIRP Regards Charlie Charlie Blackham Sulis Consultants Ltd Tel: +44 (0)7946 624317 Web: www.sulisconsultants.com<https://outlook.hslive.net/owa/redir.aspx?C=02be3bf3e3a544d1bdf7b6c99fbd12f5&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.sulisconsultants.com%2f> Registered in England and Wales, number 05466247 From: Dürrer Bernd <bernd.duer...@wilo.com> Sent: 04 October 2018 09:00 To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: [PSES] AW: [PSES] Device with Bluetooth Hello Amund, I recommend to use EN 300 328 for Bluetooth devices. The Guide for the EMCD (https://ec.europa.eu/docsroom/documents/28323) defines in clause 4.3.2.2 the precedence order for the selection of applicable standards: - Product-specific standards (if available) - Product family standards (if available) - Generic standards In this context, I consider EN 300 328 as product-specific standard for Bluetooth devices, and EN 300 440 as product family standard for SRDs. Furthermore, EN 300 440 defines in its scope that it is applicable for “non specific short range devices” in the 2,4 GHz frequency band. Though “non specific” is not further defined in the standard, I do not think that it can be argued that a Bluetooth device is a non specific short range device, when a Bluetooth specific standard is available.

Now, I came over such a device which has been tested according to EN 300 440 (SRD). Is that a valid optional standard to use?
