Radio Frequency Identification Equipment operating in the band 865 MHz to 868 MHz with power levels up to 2 W and in the band 915 MHz to 921 MHz with power levels up to 4 W; Harmonised Standard for access to radio spectrum

Scope

The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) devices used in the frequency band 865 MHz to 868 MHz and 915 MHz to 921 MHz. Power limits up to a maximum of 2 W e.r.p. are specified for this equipment in the frequency band 865 MHz to 868 MHz and up to a maximum of 4 W e.r.p. in the frequency band 915 MHz to 921 MHz. NOTE 1: The term frequency band is used for reference to dedicated bands as described in ERC Recommendation 70-03 [i.9], while frequency range is used in the other cases. The frequency usage conditions for RFID are EU wide harmonised in the band 865 MHz to 868 MHz according to Decision (EU) 2017/1483 [i.15] and in the band 915 MHz to 921 MHz according to Decision (EU) 2018/1538 [i.14]. According to Decision (EU) 2018/1538 [i.14], EU member states are requested to implement 3 channels only in the 915 MHz to 921 MHz band.
