Introduction The present document is part of a set of standards designed to fit in a modular structure to cover all radio and telecommunications terminal equipment under the R&TTE Directive. Each standard is a module in the structure. The modular structure is shown in figure 1.

The left hand edge of the figure 1 shows the different clauses of Article 3 of the R&TTE Directive. For article 3.3 various horizontal boxes are shown. Dotted lines indicate that at the time of publication of the present document essential requirements in these areas have to be adopted by the Commission. If such essential requirements are adopted, and as far and as long as they are applicable, they will justify individual standards whose scope is likely to be specified by function or interface type. The vertical boxes show the standards under article 3.2 for the use of the radio spectrum by radio equipment. The scopes of these standards are specified either by frequency (normally in the case where frequency bands are harmonized) or by radio equipment type. For article 3.1b the diagram shows EN 301 489, the multi-part product EMC standard for radio used under the EMC Directive [2].
For article 3.1a the diagram shows the existing safety standards currently used under the LV Directive [3] and new standards covering human exposure to electromagnetic fields. New standards covering acoustic safety may also be required. The bottom of the figure shows the relationship of the standards to radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment. A particular equipment may be radio equipment, telecommunications terminal equipment or both. A radio spectrum standard will apply if it is radio equipment. An article 3.3 standard will apply as well only if the relevant essential requirement under the R&TTE Directive is adopted by the Commission and if the equipment in question is covered by the scope of the corresponding standard. Thus, depending on the nature of the equipment, the essential requirements under the R&TTE Directive may be covered in a set of standards. The modularity principle has been taken because: - it minimizes the number of standards needed. Because equipment may, in fact, have multiple interfaces and functions it is not practicable to produce a single standard for each possible combination of functions that may occur in an equipment; - it provides scope for standards to be added: - under article 3.2 when new frequency bands are agreed; or - under article 3.3 should the Commission take the necessary decisions without requiring alteration of standards that are already published; - it clarifies, simplifies and promotes the usage of Harmonized Standards as the relevant means of conformity assessment.

Foreword
This Harmonized European Standard (Telecommunications series) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee
Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM), and is now submitted for the Vote phase of the
ETSI standards Two-step Approval Procedure.
The present document is part 2 of a multi-part deliverable covering Ultra WideBand (UWB) Building Material
Analysis (BMA) and Classification equipment applications operating in the frequency band from 2,2 GHz to 8 GHz, as
identified below:
Part 1: "Technical characteristics and test methods";
Part 2: "Harmonized EN covering the essential requirements of article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive".
The present document has been produced by ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission issued
under Council Directive 98/34/EC (as amended) laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of
technical standards and regulations.
The present document is intended to become a Harmonized Standard, the reference of which will be published in the
Official Journal of the European Communities referencing the Directive 1999/5/EC of the European Parliament and of
the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual
recognition of their conformity ("the R&TTE Directive").
Technical specifications relevant to Directive 1999/5/EC [3] are given in annex A.

Proposed national transposition dates
Date of latest announcement of this EN (doa): 3 months after ETSI publication
Date of latest publication of new National Standard
or endorsement of this EN (dop/e): 6 months after doa
Date of withdrawal of any conflicting National Standard (dow): 18 months after doa

Introduction
The present document is part of a set of standards developed by ETSI and is designed to fit in a modular structure to
cover all radio and telecommunications terminal equipment within the scope of the R&TTE Directive. The modular
structure is shown in EG 201 399 [2].

1 Scope
The present document specifies the requirements for Building Material Analysis and Classification (BMA) applications
using UWB technology operating in all or part of the frequency band from 2,2 GHz to 8 GHz. Additionally it specifies
reduced emissions in the ranges from 0,96 GHz to 2,2 GHz and 8 GHz to 10,6 GHz.
Equipment covered by the present document operates in accordance with ECC Decision ECC/DEC(07)01 on Building
Material Analysis (BMA) devices using Ultra WideBand technology in the bands below 8,0 GHz.
Table 1: Radiocommunications service frequency bands
Radiocommunications service frequency bands
Transmit 2 200 MHz to 8 000 MHz
Receive 2 200 MHz to 8 000 MHz

The present document applies to:
a) UWB building material analysis and classification equipment for imaging and object detection applications;
b) equipment fitted with an integral antenna;
c) handheld devices.
The present document does not apply to:
• UWB communication devices; and
• Ground penetrating radar devices; and
• through-wall radar imaging devices;
as defined in ITU-R Recommendation SM.1754 [4].
The present document specifies the equipment which is designed to not radiate into the free space. It is designed to
function only when positioned such that it radiates directly into the absorptive material such as walls and other building
materials which absorb emissions.
The present document does not necessarily include all the characteristics which may be required by a user, nor does it
necessarily represent the optimum performance achievable.
The present document is intended to cover the provisions of article 3.2 of Directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE Directive),
which states that ". radio equipment shall be so constructed that it effectively uses the spectrum allocated to
terrestrial/space radiocommunications and orbital resources so as to avoid harmful interference".
