• ISO/IEC 18000 series
ISO & IEC have established Joint Technical Committee to address technology standards.
Within JTC -1, Subcommittee 31, Work Group 4 deals with RFID. ISO 15693 and ISO 18000
series provide air interface standards for communication between tag-reader and reader-tag at
LF, HF, UHF and microwave frequencies. These standards also specify parameters like data
encoding rules, data transmission rates, types of signal modulations and anti-collision protocols
[6], [7].
• 18000-1 Part 1 - Generic Parameters for the Air Interface for Globally Accepted
Frequencies
• 18000-2 Part 2 - Parameters for Air Interface Communications below 135 KHz
• 18000-3 Part 3 - parameters for Air Interface Communications at 13.56 MHz
• 18000-4 Part 4 - Parameters for Air Interface Communications at 2.45 GHz
