supply chain. Efficiency in handling physical goods during processes such as receiving,
counting, sorting, and shipping is better improved.
Below is an example of a 96-bit EPC data structure, which consists of the header, in which
the first 2 bits must contain zeros, the EPC Manager (manufacturer number), Object Class
(identifies product), and the factory or end-user programmable serial number (an uniquely
assigned number for each individual item).

Q: Does RFID conform to EPCglobal specifications and will it meet Wal-Mart and U.S.
Department of Defense (DoD) requirements?
Wal-Mart and the U.S. Department of Defence are major factors in determining the
standard for the technical specifications that are to be used in RFID tags. RFID conforms
to the EPC Global specifications, however the EPC Class 0 and 1 protocols, although they
conform to ISO (International Organization for Standardization) standards, are
incompatible with each other. Therefore, Class 1 Generation 2 RFID is in the process of
merging these two protocols to gain approval by ISO.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is a non-governmental
organization, although its members are not, with a network of the national standards
institutes of over 140 countries, on the basis of one member per country. The Central
Secretariat in Geneva, Switzerland coordinates the system. ISO holds a special position
between the public and private sectors. Some of its member institutes are part of the
government structure of their countries or mandated by their government, while other
members are from the private sector, having been set up by national partnerships of
industry associations.
Q: What is ISO’s role in regards to RFID?
ISO is responsible for moving RFID towards the EPCglobal’s (then known as Auto-ID)
Electronic Product Code, which could become the de facto standard for UHF. Matrics and
Alien Technology are already selling RFID tags that conform to EPCglobal’s Class 0 and
Class 1 tags respectively.
Q: What types of regulatory requirements must RFID systems comply?
