IEC 62106-1:2018 defines the basic layer of the Radio Data System (RDS) intended for application to VHF/FM sound broadcasts in the range 64,0 MHz to 108,0 MHz, which can carry either stereophonic (pilot-tone system) or monophonic programmes (as stated in ITU‑R Recommendation BS.450-3 and ITU-R Recommendation BS.643-3).
IEC 62106-1:2018 together with IEC 62106-2, IEC 62106-3, IEC 62106-4, IEC 62106-5 and IEC 62106-6, cancels and replaces IEC 62106:2015, and constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to IEC 62106:2015:
