No guarantee can be given as to the existence of other IPRs not referenced in ETSI SR 000 314 (or the updates on the ETSI Web server) which are, or may be, or may become, essential to the present document. Foreword This Harmonized European Standard (Telecommunications series) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM). The present document has been produced by ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission issued under Council Directive 98/34/EC [i.3] (as amended) laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations. The present document is intended to become a Harmonized Standard, the reference of which will be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities referencing the Directive 1999/5/EC [i.1] of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual recognition of their conformity ("the R&TTE Directive"). Technical specifications relevant to Directive 1999/5/EC [i.1] are given in annex A. The present document is part 2 of a multi-part deliverable covering Radio Frequency Identification Equipment operating in the band 865 MHz to 868 MHz with power levels up to 2 W, as identified below: Part 1: "Technical requirements and methods of measurement"; Part 2: "Harmonized EN covering essential requirements of article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive". The present document includes improvements to the previous version of the standard that take advantage of technical developments within the RFID industry. In particular this includes the ability for multiple interrogators to transmit simultaneously on the same channel. This provides significant improvements in spectrum efficiency and system performance. As a consequence "listen before talk" is no longer a requirement.

server) which are, or may be, or may become, essential to the present document.
Foreword
This Harmonized European Standard (Telecommunications series) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee
Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM), and is now submitted for the Vote phase of the
ETSI standards Two-step Approval Procedure.
The present document has been produced by ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission issued
under Council Directive 98/34/EC [i.3] (as amended) laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the
field of technical standards and regulations.
The present document is intended to become a Harmonized Standard, the reference of which will be published in the
Official Journal of the European Communities referencing the Directive 1999/5/EC [i.1] of the European Parliament
and of the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual
recognition of their conformity ("the R&TTE Directive").
Technical specifications relevant to Directive 1999/5/EC [i.1] are given in annex A.
The present document is part 2 of a multi-part deliverable covering Radio Frequency Identification Equipment
operating in the band 865 MHz to 868 MHz with power levels up to 2 W, as identified below:
Part 1: "Technical requirements and methods of measurement";
Part 2: "Harmonized EN covering essential requirements of article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive".
The present document includes improvements to the previous version of the standard that take advantage of technical
developments within the RFID industry. In particular this includes the ability for multiple interrogators to transmit
simultaneously on the same channel. This provides significant improvements in spectrum efficiency and system
performance. As a consequence "listen before talk" is no longer a requirement.

Proposed national transposition dates
Date of latest announcement of this EN (doa): 3 months after ETSI publication
Date of latest publication of new National Standard
or endorsement of this EN (dop/e): 6 months after doa
Date of withdrawal of any conflicting National Standard (dow): 18 months after doa

Introduction
The present document is part of a set of standards developed by ETSI and is designed to fit in a modular structure to
cover all radio and telecommunications terminal equipment within the scope of the R&TTE Directive [i.1]. The
modular structure is shown in EG 201 399 [i.2].

1 Scope
The present document applies to RFID interrogators and tags operating together as a system. The interrogators transmit
in four specified channels of 200 kHz each using a modulated carrier. The tags preferably respond with a modulated
signal in the adjacent low power channels. Interrogators may be used with either integral or external antennas.
The present document applies to RFID interrogators used in conjunction with their RFID transponders (tags). The
interrogators operate in the dense interrogator mode in 200 kHz channels using a modulated carrier. The tags respond in
the adjacent channels with a modulated signal. Interrogators may be used with either integral or external antennas.
The types of equipment covered by the present document are as follows:
• fixed interrogators;
• portable interrogators;
• batteryless tags;
• battery assisted tags;
• battery powered tags.
These radio equipment types are capable of operating in all or any part of the frequency band as specified below.
Table 1: Frequencies of operation
Equipment Operating frequencies
Interrogator Transmit channel 4 865,6 MHz to 865,8 MHz
Interrogator Transmit channel 7 866,2 MHz to 866,4 MHz
Interrogator Transmit channel 10 866,8 MHz to 867,0 MHz
Interrogator Transmit channel 13 867,4 MHz to 867,6 MHz
Interrogator Receive 865,0 MHz to 868,0 MHz
Tag Transmit 865,0 MHz to 868,0 MHz

The present document is intended to cover the provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC [i.1] (R&TTE Directive), article 3.2,
which states that "…. radio equipment shall be so constructed that it effectively uses the spectrum allocated to
terrestrial/space radio communications and orbital resources so as to avoid harmful interference".
In addition to the present document, other ENs that specify technical requirements in respect of essential requirements
under other parts of Article 3 of the R&TTE Directive [i.1] may apply to equipment within the scope of the present
document.
NOTE: A list of such ENs is included on the web site http://www.newapproach.org/.
