The NCF is outside the scope of this Harmonised Standard. The requirements of this Harmonised Standard shall be selected to ensure an adequate level of compatibility with other radio services. This Harmonised Standard does not contain any requirement, recommendation or information about the installation of the MESs Compliance of a MES to the requirements of this Harmonised Standard does not imply that the MES may be used.
