5.2.1.3 Annex 5: Road transport and traffic telematics

Annex 5 describes frequency ranges and permitted transmission power for short range
devices in traffic telematics and vehicle identification applications. These applications
include the use of RFID transponders in road toll systems .

5.2.1.4 Annex 9: Inductive applications

Annex 9 describes frequency ranges and permitted transmission power for inductive
radio systems . These include RFID transponders and Electronic Article Surveillance
(EAS) in shops.

5.2.1.5 Annex 11: RFID applications

Annex 11 describes the frequency ranges and permitted transmission power for RFID
systems. An 8MHz segment of the 2.45GHz frequency band is cleared for operation
at an increased transmission power.
