Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Announces RFID Frequency Band Changes

Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Announces RFID Frequency Band Changes
May 08, 2024

In a recent development, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) has declared the cancellation of the RFID 840-845MHz frequency band. This decision comes as part of efforts to adapt to the evolving landscape of RFID technology and better regulate the use of radio frequency identification devices.

 

Back in 2007, the former Ministry of Information Industry issued the "RFID Technology Application Regulations (Trial)" (No. 205 of the Ministry of Information Industry), outlining the attributes and technical requirements of RFID devices. While the regulations played a positive role in advancing the RFID industry, they have become outdated in light of technological advancements and increased RFID device usage.

 

Three primary reasons drove the decision to update the regulations: the shift towards the 900MHz frequency band in RFID device manufacturing, the need for clearer definitions and management practices for RFID devices, and the necessity to align regulations with industry development and application requirements.

 

In response to these factors, the MIIT has introduced the "RFID Radio Management Regulations for the 900MHz Frequency Band." The key provisions of the new regulations are as follows:

 

The regulations aim to bolster the development of the radio industry, enhance RFID device management, improve spectrum efficiency, maintain radio wave order, and align with existing radio management laws and regulations.

 

RFID technology, as defined in the regulations, involves the modulation and encoding of radio signals to enable contactless data transfer between readers and tags, primarily used in public safety, production management, logistics, transportation, and other sectors.

 

The regulations apply to the research, production, import, sale, and use of RFID radio transmitters operating in the 920-925MHz frequency band.

 

Manufacturers or importers selling or using RFID radio transmitters domestically are required to comply with the "Technical Requirements for 900MHz RFID Radio Transmitters" (see appendix) and obtain model approval from the national radio management authority.

 

Furthermore, the regulations specify guidelines for the setup, usage, interference mitigation, and supervision of RFID radio transmitters to ensure compliance and responsible operation within designated frequency bands.

 

The MIIT has set the implementation date for these regulations as November 1, 2024, and simultaneously revoked the previous "RFID Technology Application Regulations (Trial)" (No. 205 of the Ministry of Information Industry). Moving forward, the national radio management authority will no longer accept or approve model applications for RFID radio transmitters in the 840-845MHz frequency band. Existing devices approved for this frequency band can continue to be sold and used until their end-of-life.

 

 

This regulatory update reflects the MIIT's commitment to fostering innovation, ensuring efficient spectrum utilization, and promoting responsible radio frequency management practices in the evolving RFID landscape.
