What is ISO/IEC 15961‑2 – Data protocol for RFID for item management about?
ISO/IEC 15961‑2 is the second part of the ISO/IEC 15961 series that discusses information technology. This international standard guides its users to register data constructs to enhance their item management procedure.
ISO/IEC 15961‑2 specifies the procedural requirements to maintain specific RFID data constructs. The data constructs are associated with managing open and closed applications that utilise RFID systems that conform to the data protocol defined in other parts of ISO/IEC 15961 and ISO/IEC 15962, and the air interface protocols of ISO/IEC 18000.
ISO/IEC 15961‑2 also outlines the obligations of the registration authority and the application administrators, with respect to:
- The allocation of AFIs to applications defined by the application administrator.
- The allocation of data formats to applications defined by the application administrator
- The registration of Root-OIDs, compliant with ISO/IEC 9834‑1, to any Unique Item Identifiers used in applications defined by the application administrator
- The registration of Root-OIDs, compliant with ISO/IEC 9834‑1, to any other data used in applications defined by the application administrator
- The registration of various table-driven encoding schemes, compliant with ISO/IEC 15962
Who is ISO/IEC 15961‑2 – Data protocol for RFID for item management for?
ISO/IEC 15961‑2 on registration of RFID data constructs is useful for:
- Manufacturers of RFID equipment
- Application administrators
- Registration authorities
Why should you use ISO/IEC 15961‑2 – Data protocol for RFID for item management?
RFID applied in item management helps the users to track individual products and components from the production stages to the point of sale. Manufacturers of radio frequency identification equipment (interrogators, RFID tags, etc.) and the users of RFID technology require a standard-based data protocol for RFID for item management.
ISO/IEC 15961‑2 defines the registration procedure of RFID data constructs to ensure that the data protocol supports new applications, in a straightforward manner, as the applications adopt RFID technology.
Adherence to ISO/IEC 15961‑2 guidelines help you to register RFID data constructs that enables you to track your products throughout the supply chain.
