Why Bother with Standards?

• They will effect business practices throughout
  the world
• Its a virtual guarantee that you will have to
  change your business practices if you dont
  participate
• You control your own destiny if you do participate

6
Benefits of Standardization

• Increases customers confidence in new
  technologies
• Promotes world-wide RFID acceptance and
  technology advancement
• Broadens markets for manufacturers, encourages
  global competition, and reduces price for end
  users
• Facilitates applications development by
  encouraging
• interoperability and by reducing customization
• Provides development platform for complementary
• products (software, translators, hardware
  accessories)
• Standards Making the most of any new technology

7
Issuers of Standards

• ? International (ITU, ISO, and IEC)
• ? Regional (CEN)
• ? National (ANSI, CII)
• ? Industry (EIA, AIAG, TCIF, ATA, UCC)
• ? Corporate

International Organization for Standardization
(ISO)

• 118 countries participate in the ISO process, the
  real operating membership consists of 85
  countries
• The countries select a domestic organization to
  be their representative to ISO
• ANSI - United States
• AFNOR - France
• BSI - Great Britain
• JISC - Japan
• Each country gets only ONE vote

10
The Technical Advisory Group (TAG)

• Each countrys national body assigns an
  organization to be the TAG for an SC
• ANSI has given AIM the administration
  responsibilities for the TAG to SC 31
• Each TAG sends a delegation to the SC meetings
• The Head of Delegation (HoD) votes for the TAG

11
Task Groups

• Task groups are made up of members of each
  countrys Technical Advisory Group (TAG)
• They work on approved projects and recommend new
  projects
• They bring their proposals and their work to
  their TAG so that the countrys position can be
  developed

12
The ISO Process

• Task Groups submit new project ideas to their TAG
• If approved at the TAG level, the National Body
  (NB) brings the proposal to the SC
• If the SC approves the proposal they bring it to
  JTC 1
• If JTC 1 approves the proposal, they advise the
  SC to create a Workgroup
• The TAG then creates a Task Group

13
The ISO Process . . . continued

• The Workgroup starts with a NB or regional (EU)
  standard or starts from scratch
• This becomes a Working Draft (WD)
• When the WG believes the document is close to
  completion, the WG issues a Committee Draft (CD)
• The SC National Bodies vote on the CD
• The WG takes the comments on the CD and prepares
  a Final Committee Draft (FCD)

14
The ISO Process . . . continued

• The SC National Bodies vote on the FCD
• The WG then prepares a Ballot Resolution and with
  substantive change goes through the FCD process
  again. If changes are editorial, the WG issues a
  Final Draft International Standard (FDIS)
• The ISO National Bodies vote on the FDIS
• If approved, the FDIS becomes an ISO standard

15
STAGES TO DEVELOP AN INTERNATIONAL STANDARD
16
ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 31

• Joint Technical Committee 1 (JTC 1)
• Charted to work on technical specifications
• JTC 1 consists of both ISO and IEC

18
Current Standards Activities SC 31

• ISO SC 31 is chartered to
• Write the ISO 1D and 2D symbology standards
• Develop the international standards for both
  linear and 2D print quality
• Write the ISO data structure standards
• Develop conformance standards for scanners,
  printers, verifiers, and print quality
• Develop RFID item identification technical
  standards

19
ANSI

• ANSI is the official U.S. member of ISO
• There are 2,856 ANSI committees
• There are 186 active technical ANSI committees
• In 1995 there were 1,676 ISO meetings not
  counting IEC, CEN, ANSI etc.
• ANSI gives accreditation to domestic
  organizations
• MHI, UCC, AIM, HL7 and others

Why RFID Standards?

• Promotes interoperability
• Among suppliers products both domestically and
  globally
• Among applications
• Reduces costs for all
• Manufacturers consumers
• for equipment, software, etc.
• Multi-vendor choices for transponders/receivers

50
interoperability The capability to communicate,
execute programs, or transfer data among various
functional units in a manner that requires the
user to have little or no knowledge of the unique
characteristics of those units. In RF tag
applications, this is the ability of any
compliant tag from any manufacturer to
communicate information to any compliant
interrogator of any manufacturer. non-interference
Components (tags, readers) of various types or
of different origins co-existing within the same
space (in conformance with established re-use
distance criteria) without having a serious
detrimental effect on one anothers performance.
Does NOT require that the components communicate
with one another as a part of a common
infrastructure, but only that they are able to
peacefully co-exist. interchangeability A
condition which exists when two or more items
possess such functional and physical
characteristics as to be equivalent in
performance and durability, and are capable of
being exchanged one for the other without
alteration of the items themselves, or of
adjoining items, and without selection for fit
and performance.

CEPT/ERO DSI III Recommendations

• It is recommended (that for short-range devices
  (SRDs) (including RFID) that a strategic plan be
  developed by the ERC for the frequency range
  862-870 MHz with extensive sharing possibilities.
• It is recommended that the plan should include
  the use of Spread Spectrum technology for all SRD
  applications in the 862-870 MHz in order to
  achieve the highest degree of flexibility.

53
EAN.UCC GTAG

• EAN.UCC announcement on 17 March 2000
• Recommendation of 862 to 870 MHz
• Several Meter Read Range
• 60 to 80 tags per second
• 4 Watts of Power
• UCC estimates 2 years to achieve global
  regulatory approval
• Align to MH10.8.4 recommendation (862 to 928 MHz)
  on 11 August 2000

54
ANSI MH10.8.4http//www.autoid.org/ansi_mh10sc8_w
g4.htm

• Completed Application Survey in 1999
• Application for Returnable Containers and Pallet
  tracking requires 2 to 5 meters
• Expanding EAN.UCC GTAG recommendation, MH 10
  initial draft recommends 862 to 928 MHz
• Region 2 can use 902-928 now
• As 862 to 870 MHz readers are moved into place,
  existing tags can be read
• Once the EAN lobbying effort is successful,
  market forces will move to tags with greater
  range (optimized for 866 MHz)
• Approved air interface on 27 October 2000

• Region 1 can implement 862-870 MHz
• Region 2 can continue to use 902-928 MHz
• Region 3 can implement 820-830 MHz
• All regions can read the same tag with different
  readers using frequencies permitted by local

  is the RFID standard for item management.
• Completed draft standard was unanimously approved
  by the ANSI NCITS T6 committee published for
  public review and comment through July 5th no
  negative comments received NCITS Parent
  Committee approved standard 24 September 1999.
• Includes three 2.45 GHz and one UHF physical

• Also includes ANSI T6 developed API approved for
  use by ALL current and future ANSI-compliant RFID
  products for item management at every frequency
• (allows customers to develop software solutions
  NOW)
