ISO/TC 31/WG 10 - RFID tyre tags

The document specifies an overall read range performance indicator and its associated measurement methods for radio frequency identification (RFID) enabled tyres described in ISO 20911 and tagged in ISO 20909. The ultra high frequency (UHF) RFID band used covers 860 to 930 MHz. Methods applying to passenger cars, light commercial and truck vehicles classes of tyres as defined in subclause 4.1. Methods described have not been investigated for tyres beyond tyre classes defined in subclause 4.1.

This document defines the test methods for validating the conformance of RFID enabled tyres with the minimum reading distance specifications given in ISO 20909. The two presented methodologies give comparable test results only when the same radio frequency and energy power parameters are used. Unless otherwise specified, the tests in this document are to be applied exclusively to a standalone RFID enabled tyre. This document is not intended to set any requirement on mass production quality control, nor on the frequency for testing.

This document specifies RFID tyre tag classification of the different technologies (embedding, patching, sticking) to benefit the user's understanding of their differences, targets, possible applications as well as their limitations. This document includes: — generic description of the main features for each technology; — marking recommendation. This document excludes: — references to items related to tyre quality and the testing thereof; — detailed references to embedded locations; — detailed references to rubber compound properties; — detailed references to tyre manufacturing processes.

This document specifies the terms and definitions, general requirements and data structure for coding radio frequency identification (RFID) tyre tags.

This document specifies requirements for using an RFID tag to individually identify a tyre. Three RFID tyre tag technologies are considered in this document: embedded, patch, sticker. Tyre tags can be used for all tyre categories.
