ISO 18000

ISO 18000 is an international series of standards for RFID air interfaces. It defines how an RFID reader and a transponder communicate technically across different frequency ranges. This includes specifications for radio procedures, protocols and data transmission between the components involved. The series therefore provides an important basis for making RFID systems from different manufacturers comparable and compatible. It does not describe the entire RFID system, but primarily the technical communication at the air interface. Depending on the application, ISO 18000 is supplemented by other standards, such as the GS1 standard  for identification structures and data exchange. Choosing the appropriate part of the standard supports the reliable interaction of transponders and reading technology in ongoing operations.
