IPRs essential or potentially essential to normative deliverables may have been declared to ETSI. The information
pertaining to these essential IPRs, if any, is publicly available for ETSI members and non-members, and can be found
in ETSI SR 000 314: "Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs); Essential, or potentially Essential, IPRs notified to ETSI in
respect of ETSI standards", which is available from the ETSI Secretariat. Latest updates are available on the ETSI Web
server (https://ipr.etsi.org/).
Pursuant to the ETSI IPR Policy, no investigation, including IPR searches, has been carried out by ETSI. No guarantee
can be given as to the existence of other IPRs not referenced in ETSI SR 000 314 (or the updates on the ETSI Web
server) which are, or may be, or may become, essential to the present document.
Trademarks
The present document may include trademarks and/or tradenames which are asserted and/or registered by their owners.
ETSI claims no ownership of these except for any which are indicated as being the property of ETSI, and conveys no
right to use or reproduce any trademark and/or tradename. Mention of those trademarks in the present document does
not constitute an endorsement by ETSI of products, services or organizations associated with those trademarks.
Foreword
This draft Harmonised European Standard (EN) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Electromagnetic
compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM), and is now submitted for the combined Public Enquiry and Vote
phase of the ETSI standards EN Approval Procedure.
The present document has been prepared under the Commission's standardisation request C(2015) 5376 final [i.10] to
provide one voluntary means of conforming to the essential requirements of Directive 2014/53/EU on the harmonisation
of the laws of the Member States relating to the making available on the market of radio equipment and repealing
Directive 1999/5/EC [i.3].
Once the present document is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive, compliance with
the normative clauses of the present document given in table A.1 confers, within the limits of the scope of the present
document, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding essential requirements of that Directive, and associated
EFTA regulations.
The present document replaces all previous versions of ETSI EN 302 208 parts 1 and 2.
Proposed national transposition dates
Date of latest announcement of this EN (doa): 3 months after ETSI publication
Date of latest publication of new National Standard
or endorsement of this EN (dop/e): 6 months after doa
Date of withdrawal of any conflicting National Standard (dow): 18 months after doa
Modal verbs terminology
In the present document "shall", "shall not", "should", "should not", "may", "need not", "will", "will not", "can" and
"cannot" are to be interpreted as described in clause 3.2 of the ETSI Drafting Rules (Verbal forms for the expression of
provisions).
"must" and "must not" are NOT allowed in ETSI deliverables except when used in direct citation.

8 Draft ETSI EN 302 208 V3.2.0 (2018-02)
1 Scope
The present document covers the minimum characteristics considered necessary in order to make the best use of the
available frequencies. It does not necessarily include all the characteristics that may be required by a user, nor does it
necessarily represent the optimum performance achievable.
Radio frequency identification products covered within the present document are considered by definition short-range
devices. 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. The frequency usage
conditions for RFIDs in the band 865 MHz to 868 MHz are EU wide harmonised according to 2006/804/EC [i.12].
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/REC 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,
four 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 radio equipment are capable of operating in the frequency ranges given in table 1.
Table 1: Frequencies of operation
Equipment Operating frequencies
Interrogator Transmit channel 4 865,6 MHz to 865,8 MHz
Interrogator Transmit channel 7 866,2 MHz to 866,4 MHz
Interrogator Transmit channel 10 866,8 MHz to 867,0 MHz
Interrogator Transmit channel 13 867,4 MHz to 867,6 MHz
Interrogator Receive 865,2 MHz to 868,0 MHz
Tag Transmit and receive 865,2 MHz to 868,0 MHz
Interrogator Transmit channel 3 916,1 MHz to 916,5 MHz
Interrogator Transmit channel 6 917,3 MHz to 917,7 MHz
Interrogator Transmit channel 9 918,5 MHz to 918,9 MHz
Interrogator Transmit channel 12 919,7 MHz to 920,1 MHz
Interrogator Receive 915,3 MHz to 925,0 MHz
Tag Transmit and receive 915,3 MHz to 920,9 MHz
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: 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.

respect of ETSI standards", which is available from the ETSI Secretariat. Latest updates are available on the ETSI Web
server (https://ipr.etsi.org/).
Pursuant to the ETSI IPR Policy, no investigation, including IPR searches, has been carried out by ETSI. No guarantee
can be given as to the existence of other IPRs not referenced in ETSI SR 000 314 (or the updates on the ETSI Web
server) which are, or may be, or may become, essential to the present document.

Foreword
This draft Harmonised European Standard (EN) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Electromagnetic
compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM), and is now submitted for the combined Public Enquiry and Vote
phase of the ETSI standards EN Approval Procedure.
The present document has been prepared under the Commission's standardisation request C(2015) 5376 final [i.10] to
provide one voluntary means of conforming to the essential requirements of Directive 2014/53/EU on the harmonisation
of the laws of the Member States relating to the making available on the market of radio equipment and repealing
Directive 1999/5/EC [i.3].
Once the present document is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive, compliance with
the normative clauses of the present document given in table A.1 confers, within the limits of the scope of the present
document, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding essential requirements of that Directive, and associated
EFTA regulations.
The present document replaces all previous versions of ETSI EN 302 208.
Proposed national transposition dates
Date of latest announcement of this EN (doa): 3 months after ETSI publication
Date of latest publication of new National Standard
or endorsement of this EN (dop/e): 6 months after doa
Date of withdrawal of any conflicting National Standard (dow): 18 months after doa
Modal verbs terminology
In the present document "shall", "shall not", "should", "should not", "may", "need not", "will", "will not", "can" and
"cannot" are to be interpreted as described in clause 3.2 of the ETSI Drafting Rules (Verbal forms for the expression of

1 Scope
The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID) devices used in the frequency ranges 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 typically used for reference to dedicated bands as described in
CEPT/ERC/REC 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
[i.15] and in the band 915 M
