PART 4 USE OF ULTRA-WIDEBAND EQUIPMENT FOR BUILDING MATERIAL ANALYSIS

Exemption

12.  The establishment, installation or use of ultra-wideband equipment complying with the terms, provisions and limitations in regulation 13 is hereby exempt from the provisions of section 8(1) of the Act.

(i) have a maximum mean e.i.r.p. density —

(aa) no greater than -65.0 dBm/MHz; or

(bb) no greater than -50.0 dBm/MHz provided that techniques are used to mitigate interference to other users of the electromagnetic spectrum which provide at least equivalent performance to techniques described in harmonised standards; and

(ii) have a maximum peak e.i.r.p. density no greater than -25.0 dBm or the equivalent transmission level;

(f) in the frequency band 2.69 GHz to 2.7 GHz when measured in any direction have—
