Standards
Quality is important for our clients. Elatec supports all ISO standards for RFID technology:
ISO 7816 is the standard for contact chip cards. ISO 7816-1 describes electrical and mechanical issues; ISO 7816-2 describes size, order and functionality of contact areas of the card and position of magstripe, if equipped with.
ISO 14443 is the standard for contactless proximity cards operating at 13.56 MHz in up to 5 inches distance.
ISO 15693 is the standard for contactless vicinity cards, i.e. cards which can be read from a greater distance as compared to proximity cards. ISO 15693 systems operate on 13.56 MHz frequency and offer maximum read distance of 1-1.5 metre or up to 50 inches.
ISO 18000 is the standard for item management air interface:
- ISO 18000-1: Generic parameters for air interface for global interface
- ISO 18000-2: Parameters for air interface <135 kHz
- ISO 18000-3: Parameters for air interface at 13.56 MHz
- ISO 18000-4: Parameters for air interface at 2.45 GHz
- ISO 18000-5: Parameters for air interface at 5.8 GHz
- ISO 18000-6: Parameters for air interface at 860-930 MHz (proposed name change – UHF)
- ISO 18000-7: Parameters for air interface at 433 MHz (in development)
ISO 11784 and ISO 11785 are standards for the radio-frequency identification of animals.
- ISO 11784 describes the code structure and the information content of the codes stored in the transponder: Identification code = 64 + 8 bits (including national code = 11 bits, country = 10 bits, data block = 1 bit, reserved = 14 bits, animal = 1 bit).
- ISO 11785 describes the technical concept for the radio-frequency identification of animals, i.e. the characteristics of the transmission protocols between transponder and transceiver.
- ISO 11784 and ISO 11785 embody two fundamentally incompatible approaches: the so-called fullduplex approach (FDX) and half-duplex approach (HDX), resulting in costly readers and compromised performance for both the FDX and the HDX elements of the standard. HDX is used exclusively in livestock applications, and has proven unsuitable for use in other applications.
