EN 302 208 RFID Radio Equipment Testing for IoT Applications
The European standard EN 302 208 is a crucial document that specifies the technical requirements for radio equipment operating in the Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) bands. This standard ensures interoperability among devices within these bands, which are widely used by Internet of Things (IoT) applications to enable communication between RFID tags and readers.
RFID technology is integral to smart home and IoT systems, providing a reliable means for data exchange, identification, and tracking of objects and individuals. This service focuses on the rigorous testing required to ensure compliance with EN 302 208, which includes a series of tests designed to verify that RFID devices operate safely and efficiently within their designated frequency bands.
The standard covers several key aspects including electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), power consumption limits, spectral emissions, and antenna characteristics. Compliance with these requirements is essential for IoT devices to function reliably without causing interference or being affected by other nearby radio signals.
Our service offers comprehensive testing solutions tailored to the specific needs of RFID-based IoT applications. We use state-of-the-art equipment that meets international standards such as ISO/IEC, IEC 62304 for medical devices and IEC 61967-4:2015 for color specifications.
Our team of experts will guide you through the entire process from initial consultation to final report generation. We ensure that all tests are conducted according to EN 302 208, providing detailed documentation and recommendations to help you achieve successful compliance.
| Test Parameters | Description |
|---|---|
| Frequency Band | Testing for operation within the specified ISM bands (433 MHz, 868 MHz) |
| Emission Limits | Ensuring that emissions do not exceed permissible levels to avoid interference |
| Antenna Efficiency | Measuring the efficiency of antennas used in RFID systems |
