ISO/IEC 15963 – Information Technology – Radio Frequency Identification for Item Management – Unique Identification for RF Tags

This International Standard describes numbering systems that are available for identification of RF tags.

The unique ID can be used

• for the traceability of the integrated circuit itself for quality control in its manufacturing process,
• for the traceability of the RF tag during its manufacturing process and along its lifetime,
• for the completion of the reading in a multi-antenna configuration,
• by the anti-collision mechanism to inventory multiple tags in the reader’s field of view, and
• for the traceability of the Item to which the RF tag is attached.

To request a unique identification number for RFID tags, email AIM for a copy of the procedures and application.

To obtain a copy of the standard ISO/IEC 15963, Visit the AIM Store.
