A finite group \(G\) is called \(k\)-recognizable by spectrum if there are \(k\) non-isomorphic groups with the same set of element orders as \(G\). If \(k=1\) the group \(G\) is called recognizable by spectrum and if \(k\) equals infinity \(G\) is called non-recognizable. To complete the study of the recognizability of the finite simple classical groups by spectrum, the authors prove: Let \(q\) be a power of two and \(L\) be one of the groups \(\mathrm{SP}_{2n}(q)\), \(n\geq 2\), or \(O^\pm_{2n}(q)\), \(n\geq 4\). Then \(L\) is recognizable by spectrum unless in the following cases: \(\mathrm{SP}(6,2)\) or \(\mathrm{SP}(4,q)\), where the first group is 2-recognizable while the second is not recognizable.
