Your
question below got me thinking about the complicated nature of our national
regulations as they are also linked to EU regulations (therefore you should find
the same regulations in all EU countries)!
I
think you are referring to UKFAT 2013 Annex B: Short Range Devices; Section 15
Inductive Devices
Licence
exempt means you can operate under specified conditions without an
individual licence.
For
the frequency range 60.25-90 kHz UK Licence exempt regulations have been
transposed from European Commission
(EC) Decision 2011/829/EU:
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:32011D0829:EN:NOT
The
exemption orders (implementing the EC Decision) are in UK Statutory Instruments
(SIs):
The
Wireless Telegraphy (Exemption) Regulations ( with various
amendments)
You
can download them here:
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi?title=The%20Wireless%20Telegraphy%20%28Exemption%29%20Regulations
The
SI dealing with induction (and frequency range 60.25-90 kHz) is: 2010 No.
2512
For
licence exempt operation in the frequency range 60.25 ? 90 kHz with 72 dBuA at
10m
SI
2010 refers to apparatus complying with UK Interface Requirement IR2030 which
requires kit to meet ETSI European Norm EN300330
You
can download UK Interface Requirements from:

Is my reading of the UK frequency
allocation chart right?
One can operate without a licence in the
old 73kHz band using licence-exempt inductive devices rules as long as the
output is less than 72dBuA at 10m? Not sure what sort of ERP this equates to. A
few uW I assume?
Perhaps someone can advise/confirm.
