Scope:

This part of ISO/IEC TR 18047 defines test methods for determining the conformance of radio frequency identification (RFID) devices (tags and interrogators) for item management with the specifications given in ISO/IEC 18000-6, but does not apply to the testing of conformity with regulatory or similar requirements.

The test methods require only that the mandatory functions, and any optional functions which are implemented, be verified. This can, in appropriate circumstances, be supplemented by further, applicationspecific functionality criteria that are not available in the general case.

The interrogator and tag conformance parameters in this part of ISO/IEC TR 18047 are the following:

- type-specific conformance parameters including nominal values and tolerances;

- parameters that apply directly affecting system functionality and inter-operability.

The following are not included in this part of ISO/IEC TR 18047:

- parameters that are already included in regulatory test requirements;

- high-level data encoding conformance test parameters (these are specified in ISO/IEC 15962).

Unless otherwise specified, the tests in this part of ISO/IEC TR 18047 are to be applied exclusively to RFID tags and interrogators defined in ISO/IEC 18000-6.

Clause 5 describes all necessary conformance tests for ISO/IEC 18000-6 Type A.

Clause 6 describes all necessary conformance tests for ISO/IEC 18000-6 Type B.

Clause 7 describes all necessary conformance tests for ISO/IEC 18000-6 Type C.

Clause 8 describes all necessary conformance tests for ISO/IEC 18000-6 Type D.

Clause 9 describes all necessary conformance tests for ISO/IEC 18000-6 Type C Battery Assisted Passive (BAP), whereas optional features will only be tested when supported.

Clause 10 describes all necessary conformance tests for ISO/IEC 18000-6 Type C Sensor support, whereas optional features will only be tested when supported.
