Overview

SIST EN 302 291-2 V1.1.1:2005 specifies the harmonized standard for electromagnetic compatibility and efficient radio spectrum use for Short Range Devices (SRD), specifically Close Range Inductive Data Communication equipment operating at 13.56 MHz. Developed by SIST and aligned with the ETSI EN 302 291-2, this standard addresses essential requirements under Article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive (1999/5/EC). It ensures that equipment designed for close-range inductive data communication in the Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band conforms to minimum performance criteria, minimizes harmful interference, and makes optimal use of the radio spectrum.

Key Topics

• Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC): Ensures SRD equipment does not cause or is not affected by unwanted electromagnetic interference.
• Efficient Spectrum Usage: Equipment must effectively utilize the 13.56 MHz ISM band to avoid spectrum congestion and interference.
• Technical Requirements: Covers transmitter and receiver specifications, including limits on radiated and spurious emissions, field strength, duty cycle, and testing for compliance.
• Testing and Conformity Assessment: Outlines essential test suites, environmental conditions, and measurement uncertainty requirements for demonstrating compliance.
• Alignment with R&TTE Directive: The standard implements essential requirements established under Article 3.2, facilitating CE marking and legal market access within the European Union.
• Applicability: Addresses fixed, mobile, and portable stations, including systems with integrated transponders.

Applications

This harmonized standard is crucial for a range of Short Range Device applications using close-range inductive data transfer at 13.56 MHz, including:

• Contactless Payment Systems: Ensures reliable and interference-free operation of NFC and RFID-based payment terminals.
• Access Control and Identification: Used in electronic badges, key cards, and identity verification devices relying on proximity data communication.
• Asset and Inventory Tracking: Supports warehouse, logistics, and retail sectors in deploying RFID-based solutions for item-level tracking and management.
• Industrial Automation: Enables data exchange between sensors, controllers, and machinery in environments where cables are impractical.
• Healthcare and Medical Equipment: Facilitates secure, short-range data transfer for devices such as patient tags or instrument tracking.

By complying with SIST EN 302 291-2, manufacturers and system integrators ensure that their devices avoid electromagnetic interference, are compatible with other equipment, and meet market entry requirements throughout the European Economic Area.

Related Standards

• EN 302 291-1: Technical characteristics and test methods for Close Range Inductive Data Communication equipment at 13.56 MHz.
• EN 301 489-1: General EMC requirements for radio equipment and services.
• EN 301 489-3: EMC requirements specifically for Short-Range Devices operating on frequencies between 9 kHz and 40 GHz.
• CEPT/ERC Recommendation 70-03: Relating to the use of Short Range Devices and associated spectrum utilization.
• R&TTE Directive (1999/5/EC): The legislative framework for radio and telecommunications equipment in the EU.

For additional guidance and compliance resources, manufacturers should consult the complete outlined standards, as well as related European regulations governing EMC and radio spectrum matters for SRDs.

Introduction
The present document is part of a set of standards designed to fit in a modular structure to cover all radio and
telecommunications terminal equipment under the R&TTE Directive [1]. Each standard is a module in the structure.

The left hand edge of the figure shows the different clauses of article 3 of the R&TTE Directive [1].
For article 3.3 various horizontal boxes are shown. Dotted lines indicate that at the time of publication of the present
document essential requirements in these areas have to be adopted by the Commission. If such essential requirements
are adopted, and as far as long as they are applicable, they will justify individual standards whose scope is likely to be
specified by function or interface type.
The vertical boxes show the standards under article 3.2 for the use of the radio spectrum by radio equipment. The
scopes of these standards are specified either by frequency (normally in the case where frequency bands are
harmonized) or by radio equipment type.
For article 3.1b the diagram shows EN 301 489, the multi-part product EMC standard for radio used under the EMC
Directive.
For article 3.1a the diagram shows the existing safety standards currently used under the LV Directive and new
standards covering human exposure to electromagnetic fields. New standards covering acoustic safety may also be
required.
The bottom of the figure shows the relationship of the standards to radio equipment and telecommunications terminal
equipment. A particular equipment may be radio equipment, telecommunications terminal equipment or both. A radio
spectrum standard will apply if it is radio equipment. An article 3.3 standard will apply as well only if the relevant
essential requirement under the R&TTE Directive is adopted by the Commission and if the equipment in question is
covered by the scope of the corresponding standard. Thus, depending on the nature of the equipment, the essential
requirements under the R&TTE Directive may be covered in a set of standards.
The modularity principle has been taken because:
- it minimizes the number of standards needed. Because equipment may, in fact, have multiple interfaces and
functions it is not practicable to produce a single standard for each possible combination of functions that may
occur in an equipment;
- it provides scope for standards to be added:
- under articles 3.2 when new frequency bands are agreed; or
- under article 3.3 should the Commission take the necessary decisions;
without requiring alteration of standards that are already published;
- it clarifies, simplifies and promotes the usage of Harmonized Standards as the relevant means of conformity
assessment.
