China's New Regulations on 900 MHz RFID Equipment Management

Published /China

Overview

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China has issued a notice regarding the publication of the Regulations on Radio Management of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Equipment in the 900 MHz Frequency Band.

These regulations pertain to the production, import, sale, and usage of RFID radio transmission equipment operating in the 920-925 MHz frequency band. Equipment must adhere to the "Technical Requirements for RFID Radio Transmission Equipment in the 900 MHz Frequency Band" and obtain type approval from the State for radio transmission equipment.

Key Points

Effective November 1st, 2024, RFID radio transmission equipment must not cause harmful interference to other legal radio stations. Any such interference necessitates immediate discontinuation of use until measures are taken to eliminate it. SRRC certification is mandatory for RFID equipment, governed by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the State Radiocommunication Regulations of China (SRRC). Compliance with national guidelines requires local testing and approval procedures, with approved products bearing a CMIIT ID label. Certificates typically have a validity period of 5 years, and no license is required for the radio station.
