New China RFID Regulations
Jul 10th, 2007 by Yue
On April 20th, 2007, China released regulations for UHF 800/900 RFID. Unlike Europe and North America, there are two separate UHF bands. The first is between 840.25-844.75 MHz and the second is between 920.20-924.75 MHz. Both have a max power of 2W [erp].
The good news is that China finally has UHF RFID regulations. The lack of regulations was a serious damper on the internal market - companies were waiting for final regulations before entering the market.
However, now all readers sold in China have to be certified, similarly to the United States where the FCC regulates the market. I expect that the certification process will be time-consuming and expensive, just as it is in the United States and Europe.
I have uploaded a copy of the new regulations in Chinese and English.
It appears the link to the regulation is not working, can you please fix it? I wouldl like a copy (even if it is in Chinese).
Also, what standard is being used for the “Golden Card” project? Is it based on ISO14443 or is it a unique China standard?
Hi Louis,
Sorry about that - and thanks for letting me know. The links now work again.
