power control requests for power class 1 devices

Hello together,

in the Bluetooth Spec 5.0 is written (BLUETOOTH SPECIFICATION Version 5.0 | Vol 2, Part A, chapter 3 TRANSMITTER CHARACTERISTICS):

The nRF52840 has up to 8dBm output power, thus is part of power class 1.

My question: How to deal with the issue

"A power class 1 device shall support received power control requests. Power
control may be used to limit the transmitted power of a remote device to no
more than +4 dBm to prevent saturation of the receiver of the local device."

?

I do not find any hint that this is handled by the soft device? Do I need to handle the power adaption in my application code?

Do I missunderstand anything? Is this part of the spec. not valid for BLE devices?

Thanks for support!
