EN 302 208 V1.4.1 RFID spectrum test standard approved.

EN 302 208 V1.4.1 RFID spectrum test standard approved.

EN 302 208 V1.4.1, which defines the requirements for UHF RFID equipment R&TTE certification, has been approved by ETSI in early November 2011 and is expected for publication in the European Commission Official Journal in early 2012. This is important for the RFID industry as V1.2.1 is no longer valid after 30 November 2011 and V1.3.1 as the only valid document cannot be used for all types of RFID equipment.

All versions of EN 302 208 are available for download at ETSI (www.etsi.org)
