The MIIT issued the "Regulations on the Radio Management of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Equipment in the 900MHz Frequency Band"


On April 22, 2024, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "Radio Management Regulations for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Equipment in the 900MHz Frequency Band" on its official website, which is as follows:

 Radio Management Regulations of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Equipment in the 900MHz Frequency Band

Article 1 These Provisions are formulated in accordance with the Regulations of the People's Republic of China on Radio Administration, the Regulations of the People's Republic of China on Radio Frequency Allocation, the Regulations on the Administration of Radio Transmission Equipment, and other laws and regulations in order to promote the development of the radio industry, strengthen the management of radio frequency identification (RFID) equipment, improve the efficiency of spectrum use, and maintain the order of air waves.

Article 2 The term "radio frequency identification (RFID) technology" as used in these provisions refers to the technology of realizing contactless data transmission between the reader and the tag through the modulation and coding of radio frequency signals, and then identifying the identity information and other data contained in the tag, which is mainly used in the fields of public safety, production management and control, logistics and supply chain management, and traffic management.

This regulation applies to the development, production, import, sale and use of radio frequency identification (RFID) radio transmission equipment in the 920-925MHz frequency band.

Article 3 The production or import of radio frequency identification (RFID) radio transmission equipment for sale and use in China shall comply with the "Technical Requirements for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Radio Transmission Equipment in the 900MHz Frequency Band" (see Annex), and apply to the State Radio Administration for approval of the radio transmission equipment type.

Article 4 The installation and use of radio frequency identification (RFID) radio transmission equipment in the 920-925MHz frequency band shall be managed with reference to the terrestrial public mobile communication terminals, and no radio station license shall be obtained.

Article 5 The use of radio frequency identification (RFID) radio transmission equipment shall not cause harmful interference to other legal radio stations (stations), nor shall it put forward protection requirements from harmful interference, such as harmful interference to other legal radio stations (stations), it shall immediately stop using it, and can continue to use it only after taking measures to eliminate harmful interference.

Article 6 The installation of radio frequency identification (RFID) radio transmission equipment in the frequency band 920-925MHz within the shortest horizontal distance of 33 meters from the center line of the railway track shall be subject to the consent of the State Railway Administration or the regional railway supervision and administration.

Article 7 The radio administration shall strengthen the supervision and inspection of the production, import, sale and use of radio frequency identification (RFID) radio transmission equipment, and shall order corrections and deal with violations of the relevant provisions of radio administration if it is found to be in violation of the relevant regulations.

Article 8 From the date of implementation of these provisions, the State Radio Administration shall no longer accept and approve applications for the approval of radio frequency identification (RFID) radio transmission equipment in the 840-845MHz frequency band, and the radio frequency identification (RFID) radio transmission equipment that has obtained the type approval certificate of the frequency band may continue to be sold and used until it is scrapped.

Article 9 These Provisions shall come into force on November 1, 2024, and the original "Regulations on the Application of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Technology in the 800/900MHz Frequency Band (Trial)" (Ministry of Information [2007] No. 205) shall be repealed at the same time.

MIIT issued interim regulations on the radio management of ultra-wideband (UWB) equipment


On April 22, 2024, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) issued the Interim Regulations on the Radio Management of Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Equipment on its official website, which are as follows:

Interim Regulations on Radio Management of Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Equipment

Article 1 These Provisions are formulated in accordance with the Regulations of the People's Republic of China on Radio Administration, the Regulations of the People's Republic of China on Radio Frequency Allocation, the Regulations on the Administration of Radio Transmission Equipment, and other laws and regulations in order to promote the development of the radio industry, strengthen the management of ultra-wideband (UWB) equipment, improve the efficiency of spectrum use, maintain the order of air waves, and ensure that ultra-wideband (UWB) equipment and other radio systems can achieve frequency compatibility and sharing.

Article 2 The term "ultra-wideband (UWB) radio transmission equipment" as used in these Regulations refers to radio transmission equipment with a transmitting signal bandwidth (-10dB bandwidth) of not less than 500MHz, which is mainly used in short-distance and high-speed wireless data communication, positioning, ranging, perception and other fields, and is used at a frequency of 7163-8812MHz.

These provisions apply to the development, production, import, sale and use of ultra-wideband (UWB) radio transmission equipment.

Article 3 The production or import of ultra-wideband (UWB) radio transmission equipment for sale and use in China shall comply with the "Technical Requirements for Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Radio Transmission Equipment" (see Annex), and apply to the State Radio Administration for approval of the type of radio transmission equipment.

Article 4 The installation and use of ultra-wideband (UWB) radio transmission equipment shall be managed with reference to terrestrial public mobile communication terminals, and no radio station license shall be required.

Article 5 The use of ultra-wideband (UWB) radio transmission equipment shall not cause harmful interference to other legal radio stations (stations), nor shall it put forward protection requirements from harmful interference.

Article 6 The use of ultra-wideband (UWB) radio transmitting equipment is prohibited within 1 km of the radio astronomy observatory site.

Article 7 The use of ultra-wideband (UWB) radio transmission equipment on aircraft (including unmanned aircraft) is prohibited.

Article 8 The radio administration shall strengthen the supervision and inspection of the production, import, sale and use of ultra-wideband (UWB) radio transmission equipment, and shall order corrections and deal with violations of the relevant provisions of radio administration if it is found to be in violation of the relevant regulations.

Article 9 According to the development of the industry and technological progress, the relevant contents of these regulations shall be adjusted in a timely manner by the State Radio Administration.

Article 10 From the date of implementation of these Regulations, the State Radio Administration shall no longer accept and approve applications for the approval of ultra-wideband (UWB) radio transmission equipment that does not meet the technical requirements listed in these Regulations, and the ultra-wideband (UWB) radio transmission equipment that has obtained the type approval certificate may continue to be sold and used until it is scrapped.

Article 11 These Provisions shall come into force on August 1, 2025, and the original Notice on the Provisions on the Use of Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Technical Frequencies (MIIT [2008] No. 354) shall be repealed at the same time.
