This document specifies test methods for determining the conformance of radio frequency identification (RFID) devices (tags and interrogators) for item management with the specifications given in ISO/IEC 18000‑61, ISO/IEC 18000‑62 and ISO/IEC 18000‑64. However, this document does not apply to the testing of conformance with regulatory or similar requirements.
The test methods require only that the mandatory functions, and any optional functions which are implemented, are verified. This can, in appropriate circumstances, be supplemented by further, application-specific functionality criteria that are not available in the general case.
The interrogator and tag conformance parameters in this document are the following:
-
type-specific conformance parameters including nominal values and tolerances;
-
parameters that apply directly affecting system functionality and inter-operability.
Parameters that are already included in regulatory test requirements are not included in this document.
Unless otherwise specified, the tests in this document are intended to be applied exclusively to RFID tags and interrogators defined in ISO/IEC 18000‑61, ISO/IEC 18000‑62 and ISO/IEC 18000‑64.
