[Interpretation] EU ETSI official website public Wi-Fi 6E standard EN 303 687
On October 1, 2019, ETSI drafted the first edition of Wi-Fi 6E standard EN 303 687 V0.0.1. After more than 20 versions were updated for more than three years, the version released during this period was only visible to members (unpublished), and finally Draft ETSI EN 303 687 V1.0.0 was published on April 26, 2022, which is no longer visible only to members, but can be downloaded, consulted and used by everyone free of charge on the ETSI official website.
For the latest public Draft ETSI EN 303 687 V1.0.0, what are the technical requirements? Here is a detailed explanation:
---------------------------- Scope ----------------------------
Scope of Draft ETSI EN 303 687 V1.0.0 indicates that，the present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for 6 GHz Wireless Access Systems including Radio Local Area Network (WAS/RLAN) equipment. This radio equipment is capable of operating in all or parts of the frequency bands given in table 1:
As shown in table 1, EU did not open the conventional Wi-Fi 6E band 5 frequency band 5925 MHz ~ 6425 MHz, but reduced the low frequency band by 20 MHz (5925 MHz → 5945 MHz) to consider the operation of Urban Rail Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS).

------------------ Equipment Categories ------------------
Descriptions of 6 GHz WAS/RLAN equipment categories and sub-categories are provided in Draft ETSI EN 303 687 V1.0.0:
----------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------- Test Items -------------------------
Application Draft ETSI EN 303 687 V1.0.0, the following items need to be certified:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Although the EU has published the Wi-Fi 6E standard, it should be noted that at this stage, only six European countries have opened and approved the use of Wi-Fi 6E, namely Bulgaria, Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom, Iceland and Switzerland.
