Outline of Proposed Amendment to Ministerial Ordinance １ Item Partial amendment of Regulations for Radio Equipment etc. ２ Amendment to Ministerial Ordinance Regulations for Radio Equipment Concerning Technical Regulations Conformity Certification of Specified Radio Equipment ３ Reasons for amendment The 920 MHz band Active Low Power Wireless systems are widely used for mobile identification, smart meters, sensor networks, etc. Recently, the Low Power Wide Area system (LPWA) which enables long-distance transmission with low power consumption is prevailing as sensor network, in addition to existing communication systems such as telemetry and telecommand. There is a growing demand for Active Low Power Wireless systems. While Japan requires that Active Low Power Wireless systems have a function of Carrier Sense (Listen-Before-Talk (LBT) system) to share frequencies among different wireless systems, other countries require that these systems have a function of Frequency Hopping (FH) system or Low Duty Cycle (LDC) system. This difference makes it necessary for Japan to adjust their functions of these systems imported by other countries. Considering this growing needs of new usage and international harmonization, Japan will amend the current technical regulations for 920MHz band Active Low Power Wireless systems. 1 ４ Amendment Outline Item Technical requirements Name 920MHz band Active Low Power Wireless systems Frequency Allocation 920.5－923.5MHz 920.5－925.1MHz Occupied Bandwidth 200kHz The power emitted into the unit channel adjacent to the radio channel must Wireless channel mask be -15dBm or less. 20mW (13dBm) or less.

Technical specifications This section provides information on technical specifications. 7.1 Emissions falling within restricted frequency bands Unless otherwise indicated, equipment for which emissions fall within the restricted frequency bands listed in RSS-Gen shall comply with the provisions set forth in RSS-Gen. 7.2 General field strength limits RSS-Gen includes the general field strength limits of unwanted emissions, where applicable, for transmitters and receivers operating in accordance with the provisions specified in this standard. Unless otherwise indicated, unwanted emissions of transmitters and receivers are permitted to fall within the restricted frequency bands listed in RSS-Gen and the TV bands 54-72 MHz, 76-88 MHz, 174-216 MHz and 470-602 MHz; however, fundamental emissions are prohibited in these bands, except where equipment operation is permitted in the applicable RSS. 7.3 Transmitters with wanted and unwanted emissions that are within the general field strength limits Transmitters whose wanted and unwanted emissions fall within the general field strength limits specified in RSS-Gen may operate licence-exempt in any of the frequency bands, other than the restricted frequency bands listed in RSS-Gen and the TV bands 54-72 MHz, 76-88 MHz, 174-216 MHz and 470-602 MHz, and shall be certified under RSS-210. Under no circumstances shall the level of any unwanted emissions exceed the level of the fundamental emissions. Devices operating below 490 kHz for which all emissions are at least 40 dB below the general field strength limit listed in RSS-Gen (for transmitters at frequencies below 30 MHz) are Category II devices and are subject to the requirements specified in RSS-310, Licence-Exempt Radio Apparatus: Category II Equipment. 2 Licence-Exempt Radio Apparatus: Category I Equipment RSS-210 7.4 Cordless telephones This section sets out the general conditions applicable to all cordless telephones, regardless of the frequency band of operation. In addition, there are standards specific to those bands that can be used for cordless telephones, as specified in the annexes of this RSS or in other RSSs, depending on the frequency bands. A cordless telephone comprises a base station and a portable handset: • the handset is intended to operate as an extension of the base station by eliminating the connecting handset cord of the standard telephone • the base station is intended to be connected to a telephone line that has access to a public switched telephone network Cordless telephones operate in full-duplex mode, which allows simultaneous conversations between both parties. A cordless telephone’s base station shall comply with both RSS-210 and Compliance Specification CS-03, Compliance Specification for Terminal Equipment, Terminal Systems, Network Protection Devices, Connection Arrangements and Hearing Aids Compatibility, and shall be certified under both documents. 3 Licence-Exempt Radio Apparatus: Category I Equipment RSS-210 Momentarily operated and remote control devices The provisions of this annex are specific to momentarily operated transmitters and receivers, and remote control devices. Note: “Momentary operation” may also mean “periodic operation.” Momentarily operated devices The operation of momentarily operated devices is permitted in the bands specified in tables A1 and A2 of this annex, but is prohibited in the restricted frequency bands listed in RSS-Gen. The frequency bands and field strength limits in tables A1 and A2 are reserved exclusively for the transmission of a control signal, such as those used with alarm systems, door openers, remote switches, etc. Data may be sent with a control signal. Radio control of toys or model aircraft, as well as continuous transmissions (such as voice or video), are not permitted, except as provided in section A.1.4 below. A.1.1 Technical requirements Devices shall comply with the following requirements: A manually operated transmitter shall be equipped with a push-to-operate switch and be under manual control at all times during transmission. When released, the transmitter shall cease transmission within no more than 5 seconds of being released. A transmitter that has been activated automatically shall cease transmission within 5 seconds of activation. Periodic transmissions at regular, predetermined intervals are not permitted, except as specified in section A.1.4. However, polling or supervision transmissions that determine system integrity of transmitters used in security or safety applications are permitted, provided the total duration of transmission does not exceed 2 seconds per hour for each transmitter. Intentional radiators used for radio control during emergencies involving fire, security of goods (e.g. burglar alarms) and safety-of-life, when activated to signal an alarm, may operate during the interval of the alarm condition. A.1.2 Field strengths Following are the requirements for field strength of emissions: The field strength of emissions from momentarily operated intentional radiators shall not exceed the limits in table A1, based on the average value of the measured emissions. The requirements of the “Pulsed operation” section of RSS-Gen apply for averaging pulsed emissions and limiting peak emissions. 4 Licence-Exempt Radio Apparatus: Category I Equipment RSS-210 Alternatively, compliance with the limits in table A1 may be demonstrated using an International Special Committee on Radio Interference (CISPR) quasi-peak detector. Unwanted emissions shall be 10 times below the fundamental emissions field strength limits in table A1 or comply with the limits specified in RSS-Gen, whichever is less stringent.

Manufacturers should be aware of possible harmful interference and degradation of their licence-exempt radio equipment in these frequency bands. A.1.3 Bandwidth of momentary signals The occupied bandwidth of momentarily operated devices shall be less than or equal to 0.25% of the centre frequency for devices operating between 70 MHz and 900 MHz. For devices operating above 900 MHz, the occupied bandwidth shall be less than or equal to 0.5% of the centre frequency. A.1.4 Reduced field strengths Following are the requirements for devices with reduced field strengths: (a) Devices may not meet the requirements in section A.1.1 and may be employed for any type of operation, provided the device complies with the requirements of section A.1.3 and the field strength corresponds with the limits specified in table A2. (b) In addition, devices operated under the provisions of this section shall be capable of automatically limiting their operation so that the duration of each transmission is not greater than 1 second and the silent period between transmissions is at least 30 times the duration of the transmission, but not less than 10 seconds under any circumstances. However, devices that are designed for limited use for the purpose of initial programming, reprogramming or installing, and not for regular operations, may operate 5 Licence-Exempt Radio Apparatus: Category I Equipment RSS-210 for up to 5 seconds, provided such devices are used only occasionally in connection with each unit being programmed or installed. (c) The field strength limits shown in table A2 are based on the average value of the measured emissions. Alternatively, compliance with the limits in table A2 may be demonstrated using a CISPR quasi-peak detector. (d) Unwanted emissions shall be 10 times below the fundamental emissions field strength limits in table A2 or comply with the general field strength limits specified in RSS-Gen, whichever is less stringent.

Ultra-wideband (UWB) devices with a 10 dB bandwidth greater than or equal to 500 MHz shall comply with RSS-220, Devices Using Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Technology. Prohibitions on use Devices subject to this annex are not permitted for operation on board aircraft or satellites and shall also not be used for operating toys. The use of a fixed outdoor infrastructure, including antennas mounted on outdoor structures such as poles or buildings, is not permitted, except for operation on board ships or land vehicles. Bandwidth Following are the requirements for bandwidth measurements: The 10 dB bandwidth of the device shall be within the band 5925-7250 MHz under all conditions of operation, including the effects from stepped frequency, frequency hopping or other modulation techniques that may be employed, as well as the frequency stability of the transmitter over expected variations in temperature and supply voltage.

For transmitters that employ frequency hopping, stepped frequency or similar modulation types, measurement of the 10 dB bandwidth specified in this paragraph shall be made with the frequency hop or step function disabled, and with the transmitter operating continuously at a frequency chosen in accordance with the provisions of RSS-Gen for determining measurement frequencies. Limits of radiated emissions Transmitter radiated emissions shall comply with the following e.i.r.p. limits: (a) The e.i.r.p. of radiated emissions above 960 MHz shall not exceed the limits in table K1, and the transmitter power shall be measured using root-mean-square (RMS) average detector and a 1 MHz resolution bandwidth. 39 Licence-Exempt Radio Apparatus: Category I Equipment RSS-210 Table K1 — Radiated emissions for wideband devices operating in the band 5925-7250 MHz Frequency e.i.r.p.

Table K2 — Additional e.i.r.p. limits for wideband devices operating in the band 5925-7250 MHz Frequency e.i.r.p. (MHz) (dBm) 1164-1240 -85.3 1559-1610 -85.3 In a 50 MHz bandwidth contained within the band 5925-7250 MHz and centred on the frequency at which the highest radiated emission level occurs, the peak e.i.r.p. level of the emissions in this 50 MHz bandwidth shall not exceed 20 log (RBW/50) dBm, where “RBW” is the resolution bandwidth in MHz that is employed by the measurement instrument. The RBW shall not be lower than 1 MHz or greater than 50 MHz. The video bandwidth of the measurement instrument shall not be less than the RBW. If the RBW is greater than 3 MHz, the application for certification shall contain a detailed description of the test procedure, calibration of the test set-up, and the instrumentation employed during testing. Radiated emissions at or below 960 MHz shall not exceed the emission levels in RSS- Gen. Emissions from associated digital circuits used to control additional functions or capabilities other than the operation of the transmitter shall not be employed in determining the 10 dB bandwidth of the fundamental emissions or the frequency at which the highest emission level occurs. Those emissions shall meet the general field strength limits specified in RSS-Gen. Emissions from digital circuitry that is used exclusively for enabling the operation of the wideband transmitter and that does not control additional functions or capabilities may comply with the general field strength limits specified in RSS-Gen, provided it can be clearly demonstrated that those emissions are due solely to emissions from digital 40 Licence-Exempt Radio Apparatus: Category I Equipment RSS-210 circuitry contained within the device, and that the emissions are not intended to be radiated from the device’s antenna. Measurement procedures Following are the procedures for measuring peak emission levels: All emissions at or below 960 MHz are based on measurements employing an International Special Committee on Radio Interference (CISPR) quasi-peak detector. Unless otherwise specified, all RMS average emission levels specified in this section shall be measured using a 1 MHz resolution bandwidth with a 1 ms dwell over each 1 MHz segment. The frequency span of the analyzer should equal the number of sampling bins multiplied by 1 MHz, and the sweep rate of the analyzer should equal the number of sampling bins multiplied by 1 ms. The provisions outlined in the “Pulsed operation” section of RSS-Gen that allow emissions to be averaged over a period of 100 ms do not apply to devices covered by this annex. The video bandwidth of the measurement instrument shall not be less than the resolution bandwidth, and trace averaging shall not be employed. The RMS average emission measurement shall be repeated over multiple sweeps, with the analyzer set for maximum hold until the amplitude stabilizes. The peak emission level measurement shall be repeated over multiple sweeps, with the analyzer set for maximum hold until the amplitude stabilizes. For transmitters that employ frequency hopping, stepped frequency or similar modulation types, the peak emission level measurement, the RMS average emission levels, and the frequency at which the highest level emission occurs shall be made with the frequency hop or step function active. Gated signals may be measured with the gating active. For transmitters that employ swept frequency modulation, measurements shall be made with the frequency sweep stopped at the measurement frequencies chosen according to the provisions of RSS-Gen. The 10 dB bandwidth is determined by comparing the power in a 1 MHz resolution bandwidth with the maximum inband power in 1 MHz using a peak detector and a video bandwidth greater than or equal to the resolution bandwidth. Alternative measurement procedures may be considered by ISED. 41 RSS-310 Issue 5 January 2020 Spectrum Management and Telecommunications Radio Standards Specification Licence-Exempt Radio Apparatus: Category II Equipment Aussi disponible en français – CNR-310  Preface Radio Standards Specification RSS-310, issue 5, Licence-Exempt Radio Apparatus: Category II Equipment, replaces RSS-310 Issue 4 dated July 2015.

If electronic labelling (e- labelling) is used, the compliance label shall meet the requirements set out in RSS-Gen for e-labelling. The label must be clearly legible and shall be permanently affixed to the apparatus or displayed electronically. If the dimensions of the device are extremely small or it is not practical to place the label on the apparatus and if e-labelling cannot been implemented, the label shall be placed in a prominent location in the user manual supplied with the apparatus (as agreed upon with ISED prior to the importation or marketing of the apparatus). The user manual may be in an electronic format; if it is not supplied to the user, the user manual must be readily available. The RSS-310 compliance label is not required for devices consisting of Category II radio apparatus subject to RSS-310, which are housed together with Category I radio apparatus (e.g. a transceiver whose receiver is Category II radio apparatus and whose transmitter is Category I radio apparatus). These devices are, however, subject to the labelling requirements applicable to Category I radio apparatus, as set out in RSS-Gen. Figure 1: RSS-310 compliance label Manufacturer’s Name or Brand Name Model: (model number) Canada 310 8. User manual Radio apparatus covered under this standard shall comply with the user manual notice requirements of RSS-Gen for licence-exempt radio apparatus. In addition, the channel frequency and the output power (or field strength and measurement distance) shall be stated in the user manual. 9. Emissions falling within restricted frequency bands Radio apparatus covered by this standard are required to comply with the provisions in RSS-Gen regarding emissions falling within restricted frequency bands. These restricted frequency bands are listed in RSS-Gen. 10. Technical requirements This section outlines technical requirements for specific equipment. 2 Licence-Exempt Radio Apparatus: Category II Equipment RSS-310 10.1 Underground radios Underground radio apparatus subject to this standard consists of base stations and/or repeaters, portable or mobile units located and operated completely below the surface of the earth, which is not freely accessible to the public, such as mines. 10.1.1 Labelling and user manual In addition to the labelling requirements in section 7, the equipment shall bear a label stating: For underground installations only. In addition to the user manual requirements in section 8, the user manual shall include a notice cautioning the user not to install the transmitter near any opening to above ground, and shall provide instructions to comply with the requirements set out in this section. Underground locations are defined as locations completely below the surface of the earth that are not freely accessible to the public. As such, radio apparatus operating in underground locations, for example, subway stations, underground parking, underground retail and businesses, do not qualify for licence exemption and require certification. Above ground base stations whose sole means of communication is via cable, are licence-exempt and do not require certification. Radio stations that operate exclusively in underground locations, not accessible to the public, are subject to this standard and are licence-exempt. These exempt stations operate on a secondary, no- interference, no-protection basis. Should interference be caused to any above ground radio apparatus, the operator of the underground system must take immediate remedial action to eliminate the interference. Although these radio systems are licence-exempt, users may consult the local district office of ISED regarding their proposed frequency selections. This would prevent the radio systems from operating on channels which may create interference with safety services and would help in the identification of systems inadvertently radiating signals above ground. Contact your local office for additional information. 10.1.2 Technical requirements Licence-exempt underground radio systems are not restricted in the number of frequencies that they may use. However, the fundamental components of modulation shall not fall within the restricted frequency bands listed in the “Restricted Frequency Bands” section of RSS-Gen. The transmitter output power should not be greater than necessary for its intended function and shall not exceed 110 W under any circumstances. 3 Licence-Exempt Radio Apparatus: Category II Equipment RSS-310 10.1.3 Installation requirements At any location not defined as an underground location, the radio frequency (RF) field leakage from an underground radio system at the fundamental frequency shall not exceed the general field strength limits specified in RSS-Gen. 10.2 Cable-locating equipment (Band 9-490 kHz) Cable-locating equipment is used to locate a buried cable or pipe by coupling an RF signal onto the cable or pipe and using a receiver to detect its location. The equipment may operate on any frequency within the band 9-490 kHz and the power, in terms of peak value, shall not exceed 10 W for the band 9-45 kHz and 1 W for the band 45-490 kHz, respectively. In addition tothe user manual requirements in section 8, the user manual shall contain the following or equivalent notice: Equipment is for use by trained operators only and not for general household use. Usage duration shall be as short as possible to prevent possible radio interference to authorized services, especially the 100 kHz eLoran frequency. 10.3 Alternating current (AC) wire carrier current devices operating in the band 0-30 MHz AC wire carrier current devices operating in the band 0-30 MHz are intended for use inside buildings, using the building’s AC wiring for RF signal propagation. The signals are generated by a transmitter/exciter unit that is electrically connected to the building wiring. These systems fall under the following categories: a. Interference-causing equipment where both the exciter (transmitter) and the receiver are connected to the building wiring and any radiated emissions of RF energy are unintentional. This includes in- house broadband power line devices. These devices are subject to ISED’s Interference-Causing Equipment Standard ICES-006, AC Wire Carrier Current Devices (Unintentional Radiators). b. AC wire carrier current devices operating in the amplitude modulation (AM) broadcasting band of 535-1705 kHz that is intended for AM broadcast receivers. These devices are broadcasting equipment and are subject to BETS-1, Technical Standards and Requirements for Low Power Announce Transmitters in the Frequency Bands 525-1,705 kHz and 88-107.5 MHz. c. AC wire carrier current devices of the intentional radiator type where the exciter is connected to the AC wire line but the receiver is not (e.g. a magnetic loop is used to pick up the received signal). These intentional radiator devices are covered by this standard (RSS-310) and shall comply with the limits and method of measurements prescribed in ICES-006. 10.4 Transmitters with input power of 6 nW or less Any transmitter that has a power consumption (total input power into the device) not exceeding 6 nW is excluded from any ISED requirements and may operate on any radio frequency, including in the restricted frequency bands listed in RSS-Gen. 4 Licence-Exempt Radio Apparatus: Category II Equipment RSS-310 10.5 Band below 9 kHz Radio apparatus operating at frequencies less than 9 kHz are excluded from any ISED requirements. 10.6 Band 9-490 kHz Devices operating in the frequency band 9-490 kHz shall have all emissions, including the fundamental emission, at 40 dB below the general field strength limits listed in RSS-Gen. 10.7 Bands 26.96-27.28 MHz and 49.82-49.90 MHz Devices operating in the bands 26.96-27.28 MHz and/or 49.82-49.90 MHz shall have their field strength not exceed 10 mV/m measured at 3 metres with an average detector or a CISPR quasi-peak detector. Outside these bands, the general field strength limits listed in RSS-Gen shall apply. Cordless telephones are not permitted to operate under this provision for the band 49.82-49.90 MHz. 10.8 Data modems Data modems shall have unwanted emissions outside their intended bandwidth adequately suppressed. Modems may be classified as one of two classes described below. 10.8.1 Data modems for connection to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) Data modems for connection to a PSTN shall comply with applicable requirements in CS-03, Compliance Specification for Terminal Equipment, Terminal Systems, Network Protection Devices, Connection Arrangements and Hearing Aids Compatibility and in DC-01, Procedure for Declaration of Conformity and Registration of Terminal Equipment. 10.8.2 Data modems for connection to radio transmitter Stand-alone data modem (or part of a radio transmitter) to be used for connection to a radio transmitter’s data port shall comply with ICES-003, Information Technology Equipment (Including Digital Apparatus) — Limits and Methods of Measurement, as well as with the test described below. The data modem must also contain suitable audio filters or employ pulse shaping to limit the frequency spectrum, and have a level adjustment capability so that the user can set the frequency deviation of the radio transmitter. It should also have impedance that matches the radio transmitter data port. A suitable test method is given below. The objectives of the test are for the modem manufacturer to ascertain whether the pulse shaping/audio filtering, together with the appropriate frequency deviation, will limit the wanted signal bandwidth, and for the said modem manufacturer to issue proper instructions to the user to adjust the frequency deviation. 5 Licence-Exempt Radio Apparatus: Category II Equipment RSS-310 10.8.2.1 Method of measurement Step 1: Connect a data generator to the modem. Step 2: Connect the modem to the data port of any type of radio transmitter that has been certified by ISED. Connect a spectrum analyzer to the RF output point of the transmitter. Step 3: Set the data generator rate to the maximum for which the modem is rated, with a pseudo-random pattern of at least 2047 bits. Step 4: The following information shall be marked on the spectrum plots and included in the test report: data bit and symbol rates; input voltage to the radio transmitter data port; the manufacturer’s name; as well as the model number of the data modem. Unwanted emissions The spectral density of unwanted emissions outside the intended passband of the radio channel shall be at least 20 dB below the in-band (or passband) spectral density as measured by a spectrum analyzer with a resolution bandwidth of approximately 1.0% of the radio transmitter's occupied bandwidth. Labelling and user manual Labelling shall comply with DC-01 procedure, as appropriate. In addition, the data modem user manual shall contain instructions on how to adjust the frequency deviation, and shall notify the user regarding the maximum bit and symbol rates that the modem is capable of handling. 6 G/TBT/N/TPKM/399 28 January 2020 (20-0643) Page: 1/2 Committee on Technical Barriers to Trade Original: English NOTIFICATION The following notification is being circulated in accordance with Article 10.6 1.
