ISO 17364:2013

Supply chain applications of RFID — Returnable transport items (RTIs) and returnable packaging items (RPIs)

This International Standard defines the basic features of RFID for use in the supply chain when applied to returnable transport items (RTIs). In particular it — provides specifications for the identification of the RTI and the returnable packaging item (RPI), — makes recommendations about additional information on the RF tag, — specifies the semantics and data syntax to be used, — specifies the data protocol to be used to interface with business applications and the RFID system, — specifies the minimum performance requirements, — specifies the air interface standards between the RF interrogator and RF tag, and — specifies the reuse and recyclability of the RF tag.

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 17364 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 122, Packaging.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (17364:2009).
This International Standard has three annexes, two of which, A and B, provide normative information,
and one which provides informative information.
Introduction
The ‘Supply Chain’ is a multi-level concept that covers all aspects of taking a product from raw materials
to a final product, including shipping to a final place of sale, use and maintenance, and potentially
disposal. Each of these levels covers many aspects of dealing with products, and the business process
for each level is both unique and overlapping with other levels.
This International Standard has been created in order to ensure compatibility at the physical, command
and data levels with the four other International Standards under the general title: Supply chain
