BTL Communications lab will take you to know development and change of ETSI
European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) released the draft version of ETSI EN 301 908-13 V13.0.1 in August 2019, which is the test standard related to 3GPP Long TermEvolution (LTE). ETSI EN 301 908-13 is standard of EUTRA (Evolved Universal Terrestrial Access) customer premises equipment.
For the update of this regulation, the biggest one is to add table 4.2.4.1.2-3 NB-IoT band 65 and clarify the band 28 to band 32 issues.
For Draft ETSI EN 301 908-13 V13.0.1 (2019-08) important updates are listed below:
1. The ETSI version is updated to the ETSI TS 136.521-1 (15.2.0) (2018-10) reference.
2. Product features add NB-IoT, cat-M Description
3. Adds frequency band ex: band 46 (5150-5925MHz) and band 65.67.68.69
4. Adds frequency band of NB-IoT: Band 1, 3, 8, 20, 28 and 65.
5. Adds frequency band of cat-M: Band 1, 3, 7, 8, 29, 28 and 31.
The progress is as follows. Kindly please pay more attention to the voting start date, the release and OJ announcement dates.

Below is a demonstration of the NB-IoT results for our BTL laboratory. The test system has been tested with a lot of NB-IoT so that we have much experience in this field.
6.6.2.1F - Spectrum Emission Mask for Category NB1:
In addition to testing LTE and NB-IoT products, BTL also satisfies various mobile communication system products such as 5G NR, GSM, GPRS, EDGE, CDMA, EVDO, TD-SCDMA, WCDMA, HSUPA, HSPA+. LE EDR, WIFI (11a, b, g, n, ac, ax) .NFC, GPS and other products.
BTL have strong test energy and rich experience in the field of communication, and combining with effective project management operations also give the clients' products more convenient and help in certification.

The formulation of 6G standards has entered a more concrete phase. At the 3GPP RAN Plenary Meeting held in Singapore in June 2026, the industry made progress in multiple key research areas and finalized the timeline for Release 21, which is regarded as the first standard version expected to formally define 6G.
Overview of EN IEC 61000-4-29:2026
The key focus of the 2026 edition is to address new DC power distribution environments, especially higher-voltage DC systems. It also clarifies test generator capability, duration tolerance, current limitation during short interruptions, inrush current verification, result evaluation, and test report requirements. For products using 24 Vdc, 48 Vdc, 380 Vdc, 400 Vdc, 800 Vdc, or other DC input pow
