Does Cisco have any hardware that supports "Short Range Devices" on the 5Ghz frequency in Europe?

You can create an new RF Profile and then allow the channels you need.
As mentioned already, there's no reason for a special hardware when what you need is actually Wi-Fi basically.

Hi,
Then go to Wireless Tab, allow one Country that allows those channels. There´is nothing wrong if that.
Then, put those allowed channel only on the new RF profile.

That´s correct. However, depends on where you are going to use it, you will not cause any damage to others.
One way or another, if those channel are not allowed for you, we can conclude that you cant use those devices that work on that channels right ?

Alrigh!
If those channel is now allowed, they will not be dont matter the hardware. The amendment is not based on hardware but in Frequency range.
If Cisco had a special hardware for SRD it will not allows those channel as well based on your regulatory domain.
But I got your point, You asked for Cisco special hardware and I tried to help with a different solution.
Best of luck!

For the curious ones, here is some much more detailed information: https://www.bundesnetzagentur.de/SharedDocs/Downloads/DE/Sachgebiete/Telekommunikation/Unternehmen_Institutionen/Koexistenzstudie_EN.pdf?__blob=publicationFile&v=2
And I think the official standard documents, although I haven't yet found one for the 5 GHz range....

What kind of devices (brand and model), if it isn't classified, are they going to use?
[edit]
Anyway, unless those devices actually use the Wi-Fi of your company and not their own, non Wi-Fi compatible standard (which I actually assume it isn't), then you don't need to configure anything on your current Wi-Fi implementation. The new system would run completely on it's own. That's at least how most, if not all, of the building automization systems (door controll, lights, access controll...) work. They use, often in Europe the 868 MHz band, where they have a good reach and not influence the existing structure.
So as a first, check if those SRD devices can actually work on the Wi-Fi standard. If not, they need their own Accesspoints for their own standard. The Cisco APs only support the Wi-Fi standards (and some very special RFID ones, if you have bought the hardware upgrade for the 3x00 series).
