In 2007, the former Ministry of Information Industry issued the “800/900MHz Frequency band Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology application Regulations (Trial)” (Ministry of Information No. 205), which clarified the attributes and technical requirements of RFID equipment, and played a positive role in promoting the development of RFID equipment industry. In recent years, with the development of RFID equipment technology and scale applications, the above provisions have been unable to fully meet the needs of RFID equipment management.
First, the 900MHz frequency band can meet the needs of the RFID equipment industry, and domestic and foreign RFID equipment has basically no longer used the 800MHz frequency band, and the 800MHz frequency band can be re-planned and used after the retreat, which is conducive to the reasonable and effective utilization of spectrum resources. Second, Announcement No. 52 in 2019 issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology updated the catalogue of micro-power short-distance radio transmission equipment, and did not include RFID equipment in the category of micro-power equipment, and it is necessary to further clarify the attributes and management mode of RFID equipment. The third is to formulate the “Regulations” to adapt to industrial development and industry application needs, and help form industry expectations as soon as possible.
Therefore, in recent days, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the “Radio Management Regulations for Radio Frequency identification (RFID) equipment in the 900MHz band”. Among them, in Article 8: Since the date of implementation of these provisions, the national radio regulatory authority will no longer accept and approve the application for model approval of radio frequency identification (RFID) radio transmission equipment in the 840-845MHz band, and the radio frequency identification (RFID) radio transmission equipment that has obtained the model approval certificate of the frequency band can continue to be sold and used until scrapped.
