FOREWORD
1) ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission)
form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC
participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the
respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees
collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental,
in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC and ISO on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation
from all interested IEC and ISO National bodies.
3) IEC and ISO documents have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC and
ISO National bodies in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of
IEC and ISO documents is accurate, IEC and ISO cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used
or for any misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC and ISO National bodies undertake to apply IEC and ISO
documents transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any
divergence between any IEC and ISO document and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be
clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC and ISO do not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC and ISO marks of conformity. IEC and ISO are not
responsible for any services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this document.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC and ISO or their directors, employees, servants or agents including individual
experts and members of its technical committees and IEC and ISO National bodies for any personal injury,
property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including
legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this ISO/IEC document or any
other IEC and ISO documents.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this document. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this document.
9) IEC and ISO draw attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). IEC and ISO take no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent
rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC and ISO had not received notice of
(a) patent(s), which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this
may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at
https://patents.iec.ch and www.iso.org/patents. IEC and ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or
all such patent rights.
ISO/IEC 30180 has been prepared by subcommittee SC 41: Internet of Things and Digital Twin,
of ISO/IEC joint technical committee 1: Information technology. It is a Technical Specification.
The text of this Technical Specification is based on the following documents:

INTRODUCTION
This document applies IoT functionality to self-quarantine status monitoring to mitigate the
spread of highly contagious diseases, as determined by appropriate public health authorities
as representing a serious threat to public health unless self-quarantine measures are enacted.
This document only applies to self-quarantine requirements imposed for the purposes of public
health as deemed clinically and scientifically necessary by an appropriate public health
authority. This document does not apply to self-quarantine for any other purpose, including but
not limited to legal, political, or social objectives. This document can help demonstrate how to
implement an IoT-based technical solution by utilizing the following IoT components: monitoring
entity, managing entity, proxy managing entity, and monitoring tag.
"Self-quarantine" for the purposes of this document can be defined as a need for individuals to
quarantine by themselves (i.e. self-quarantine) due to a diagnosis, or a desire to quarantine by
themselves due to public health authorities' recommendations based on the best pub
