ISO/TS 28560-4:2023 PDF

This document defines rules for ISO?28560-1 data elements to be encoded in radio frequency identification (RFID) tags with a memory structure that is partitioned into four memory banks. This primarily applies to ISO/IEC?18000-63 (previously known as ISO/IEC?18000-6 Type C) operating in the UHF frequency, but not necessarily restricted to this technology.

The rules for encoding a subset of data elements taken from the total set of data elements defined in ISO?28560-1 are based on ISO/IEC?15962, which uses an object identifier structure to identify data elements. This document defines the rules for encoding a unique item identifier in a specific memory bank, known as MB?01, taking into account different requirements for privacy. It also defines the rules for encoding other relevant data in a separate memory bank, known as MB?11. Each of these memory banks is addressable using different command set of the appropriate RFID technology.

As with other parts of ISO?28560, this document is appropriate for the needs of all types of libraries (including academic, public, corporate, special, and school libraries).

This document provides essential standards-based information about RFID in libraries. A source of additional information about implementation issues is provided in Annex?A.
