Thailand NBTC new RFID & IoT technical standards (920 – 925 MHz)

Recently, NBTC Thailand has officially released NTC TS 1010-2560  to replace existing NTC TS 1010-2550 technical standard for Radio Communication Radio Frequency Identification: RFID on the list of products subjected to NBTC Certification and Declaration of Conformity. The new standard effect from 24 Nov 2017 together with the new standard for IoT (non-RFID) is under technical standard NTC TS 1033-2560 introduced by NBTC Thailand recently.

Some highlighted features as below:

1. The new standard radio frequency including 920 – 925 MHz for apply to IoT device.

2. Product must comply with the Radio Technical requirement, Electrical Safety requirement, and Radiation Exposure requirement.

3. There are 2 types of certification applied, depending on the specified output power and frequency range as summarized below
