The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) launched a second thematic collection of radio frequency identification (RFID) standards on CD-ROM.
The present JTC 1 collection contains 25 IEC/International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards on RFID.
Standards are critical for many RFID applications such as payment systems and tracking goods or reusable containers in open supply chains.
The ISO/IEC joint technical committee JTC 1, Information technology, worked for the past decade to develop standards for a variety of RFID frequencies and applications.
Existing and proposed RFID standards deal with the air interface protocol (the way tags and readers communicate), data content (the way data is organized or formatted), conformity (ways to test that products meet the standard) and applications (for example, how standards are used on shipping labels).
The new CD-ROM, JTC 1 Collection on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), includes 25 ISO/IEC standards on RFID application identifiers, which range from topics such as the syntax for high capacity automatic data capture media to radio frequency identification for item management, automatic identification and data capture techniques (AIDC) as well as radio frequency identification device conformance test methodology, data protocols, registration procedures, syntax and terminology.
