ISO/DIS 18185-7
Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO

member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical

committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has

the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in

liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical

Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted

by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard

requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights.

ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

ISO 18185-7 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 104, Freight containers, Subcommittee SC 4,

Identification and communication.

ISO 18185 consists of the following parts, under the general title Freight containers — Electronic seals:

⎯ Part 1: Communication protocol
⎯ Part 2: Application requirements
⎯ Part 3: Environmental characteristics r
⎯ Part 4: Data protection
⎯ Part 5: Sensor interface (Attention: Work Item withdrawn)
⎯ Part 6: Messages sets for transfer between seal reader and host computer
⎯ Part 7: Physical layer

ISO/DIS 18185-7
Introduction

This International Standard was prepared by ISO Technical Committee 104/Subcommittee 4/Working Group 2, using

the drafting conventions of ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
This standard defines the physical layer for compliant electronic seals.

This standard has been created to ensure global adoption of the standard, providing a standardized physical layer as

developed in the RFID standards of ISO/IEC 18000.

Freight containers — Electronic seals — Part 7: Physical layer
1 Scope

This International Standard provides the air interface between electronic container seals and

reader/interrogators of those seals.

This International Standard is used in conjunction with the other Parts of ISO 18185.

This International Standard describes the physical layer for ISO 18185 and ISO 17363 for Supply Chain

Applications of RFID for Freight Containers since it is expected that the implementation of these standards will

face the same international conditions. However, each of these standards has their own unique requirements

other than the physical layer. It is expected that RFID Freight Container Identification (as specified in ISO

10374.2), ISO 17363, and electronic seals, as specified in the suite of standards under ISO 18185, shall be

able to use the same infrastructure, while recognizing that that there may be requirements for different

frequencies for passive devices as opposed to the active devices identified in this standard.

This International Standard applies to all electronic seals
