Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Standards & Documents

Updated October 10, 2008

Radio frequency identification (RFID) standards address information technology, supply chain applications, transponders on palletized loads, item management, freight containers, conformance management, automatic identification and data capture (AIDC), electromagnetic compatibility and other topics.

A selected list of RFID standards appears below.

These standards were developed by American National Standards Institute (ANSI, ASTM International, British Standards Institution (BSI), Danish Standards Association (DS), European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), International Organization for Standardization(ISO), SAE International and Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI).
