___________________________________________________________________
7.1.40. standard frequency and time signal service: A radiocommunication service for
scientific, technical and other purposes, providing the transmission of specified frequencies,
time signals, or both, of stated high precision, intended for general reception.
7.1.41. standard frequency and time signal-satellite service: A radiocommunication service
using space stations on earth satellites for the same purposes as those of the standard
frequency and time signal service. This service may also include feeder links necessary for
its operation.
7.1.42. space research service: A radiocommunication service in which spacecraft or other
objects in space are used for scientific or technological research purposes.
7.1.43. amateur service: A radiocommunication service for the purpose of self-training,
intercommunication and technical investigations carried out by amateurs, that is, by duly
authorized persons interested in radio technique solely with a personal aim and without
pecuniary interest.

earth satellites for the same purposes as those of the amateur service.
7.1.45. radio astronomy service: A service involving the use of radio astronomy.
7.1.46. industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) applications (of radio frequency
energy): Operation of equipment or appliances designed to generate and use locally radio
frequency energy for industrial, scientific, medical, domestic or similar purposes, excluding
applications in the field of telecommunications.
7.1.47. short range devices (SRD) : radio transmitters which provide either unidirectional or
bi-directional communication and which have low capability of causing interference to other
radio equipment. SRDs use either integral, dedicated or external antennas and all modes of
modulation can be permitted subject to relevant standards. SRDs are not considered a
