Oprema za radiofrekvenčno identifikacijo, ki deluje v pasu od 865 MHz do 868 MHz z močnostnimi nivoji do 2 W in v pasu od 915 MHz do 921 MHz z močnostnimi nivoji do 4 W - Harmonizirani standard za dostop do radijskega spektra
Ta dokument določa tehnične lastnosti in metode merjenja za naprave za radiofrekvenčno identifikacijo (RFID) v frekvenčnem pasu od 865 MHz do 868 MHz in od 915 MHz do 921 MHz.
Omejitve moči do največ 2 W efektivne sevane moči so za to opremo določene v frekvenčnem pasu od 865 MHz do 868 MHz in do največ 4 W efektivne sevane moči v frekvenčnem območju od 915 MHz do 921 MHz.
OPOMBA 1: Izraz frekvenčni pas se uporablja za sklicevanje na namenske pasove, opisane v priporočilu ERC 70-03 [i.9], frekvenčno območje pa se uporablja v drugih primerih.
Pogoji uporabe frekvenc za radiofrekvenčno identifikacijo so usklajeni v celotni Evropski uniji v pasu od 865 MHz do 868 MHz v skladu z Odločbo (EU) 2017/1483 [i.15], v pasu od 915 MHz do 921 MHz pa v skladu z Odločbo (EU) 2018/1538 [i.14].
V skladu z Odločbo (EU) 2018/1538 [i.14] morajo države članice EU izvesti samo 3 kanale v pasu od 915 MHz do 921 MHz.
Opozoriti je treba, da ima frekvenčni pas od 915 MHz do 921 MHz v Evropski uniji in državah CEPT omejeno stanje izvajanja. V Dodatku 1 Priporočila ERC 70-03 [i.9] je pregled držav, v katerih je pas izveden.
Ta dokument se uporablja za čitalnike in odzivnike za radiofrekvenčno identifikacijo, ki skupaj delujejo kot sistem. Za vsak določen pas je za čitalnike na voljo več kanalov z visoko močjo. Odzivniki odgovarjajo z moduliranim signalom, če je mogoče, v sosednjih kanalih manjših moči. Čitalniki se lahko uporabljajo z vgrajenimi ali zunanjimi antenami.
Ta dokument zajema naslednje vrste opreme:
• fiksni čitalniki;
• prenosni čitalniki;
• odzivniki brez baterij;
• baterijsko podprti odzivniki;
• baterijsko napajani odzivniki.
Ti tipi radijske opreme lahko delujejo v frekvenčnih območjih, podanih v preglednici 1 in v preglednici 2.
Ta dokument vsebuje zahteve, s katerimi se dokazuje, da navedena radijska oprema optimalno uporablja in podpira učinkovito rabo radijskega spektra z namenom preprečevanja škodljivih motenj.
OPOMBA 2: Razmerje med tem dokumentom in bistvenimi zahtevami iz člena 3.2
Direktive 2014/53/EU [i.3] je podano v dodatku A.

1 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.
It should be noted that the frequency band 915 MHz to 921 MHz has only a limited implementation status within the
European Union and the CEPT countries. ERC Recommendation 70-03 [i.9] provides in appendix 1 an overview of
countries where the band is implemented.
The present document applies to RFID interrogators and tags operating together as a system. For each specified band,
multiple high power channels are made available for use by interrogators. The tags respond with a modulated signal
preferably in the adjacent low power channels. Interrogators may be used with either integral or external antennas.
The types of equipment covered by the present document are as follows:
• fixed interrogators;
• portable interrogators;
• batteryless tags;
• battery assisted tags;
• battery powered tags.
These types of radio equipment are capable of operating in the frequency ranges given in table 1 and table 2.
The present document contains requirements to demonstrate that the specified radio equipment both effectively uses and
supports the efficient use of radio spectrum in order to avoid harmful interference.
NOTE 2: The relationship between the present document and essential requirements of article 3.2 of
Directive 2014/53/EU [i.3] is given in annex A.

1 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.
It should be noted that the frequency band 915 MHz to 921 MHz has only a limited implementation status within the
European Union and the CEPT countries. ERC Recommendation 70-03 [i.9] provides in appendix 1 an overview of
countries where the band is implemented.
The present document applies to RFID interrogators and tags operating together as a system. For each specified band,
multiple high power channels are made available for use by interrogators. The tags respond with a modulated signal
preferably in the adjacent low power channels. Interrogators may be used with either integral or external antennas.
The types of equipment covered by the present document are as follows:
• fixed interrogators;
• portable interrogators;
• batteryless tags;
• battery assisted tags;
• battery powered tags.
These types of radio equipment are capable of operating in the frequency ranges given in table 1 and table 2.
The present document contains requirements to demonstrate that the specified radio equipment both effectively uses and
supports the efficient use of radio spectrum in order to avoid harmful interference.
NOTE 2: The relationship between the present document and essential requirements of article 3.2 of
Directive 2014/53/EU [i.3] is given in annex A.

1 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.
It should be noted that the frequency band 915 MHz to 921 MHz has only a limited implementation status within the
European Union and the CEPT countries. ERC Recommendation 70-03 [i.9] provides in appendix 1 an overview of
countries where the band is implemented.
The present document applies to RFID interrogators and tags operating together as a system. For each specified band,
multiple high power channels are made available for use by interrogators. The tags respond with a modulated signal
preferably in the adjacent low power channels. Interrogators may be used with either integral or external antennas.
The types of equipment covered by the present document are as follows:
• fixed interrogators;
• portable interrogators;
• batteryless tags;
• battery assisted tags;
• battery powered tags.
