Chapter —RFID Tag Formats<br />

RFID Tags<br />

There are many RFID media and tag manufacturers, not all necessarily<br />

making intercompatible equipment. The information in this chapter<br />

applies to supported tags and media. Other media may not function as<br />

described below, or not at all. Contact your local support organization for<br />

information on supported media.<br />

EPCGlobal Tag Format Specifications<br />

SGTIN-64<br />

EPC (Electronic Product Code) tag formats have been derived from<br />

EAN.UCC standards. The purpose has been to be able to program RFID<br />

tags with the same information from EAN.UCC encoding schemes normally<br />

printed on bar codes. See later in this chapter an example where a<br />

GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) normally printed as an EAN128 bar<br />

code can be programmed to an RFID tag as an SGTIN-96.<br />

The tables on tag formats listed below contain only the information on<br />

the input necessary to program the tags with Fingerprint firmware. More<br />

information is in fact contained by the tags, such as "header" and "partition".<br />

The header is uniquely defined by the tag format, and is therefore<br />

not included in the input. The "partition" does not need to be entered<br />

either, as it is defined by the length of other fields, for example "company<br />

prefix" and "item reference", and is automatically calculated by Fingerprint<br />

firmware. It is therefore very important to enter the correct number of<br />

digits in each field, even if they may contain leading zeroes.<br />

All values entered for EPCGlobal formats must be integers entered as<br />

strings. The exception being USDOD formats, which do not strictly conform<br />

to EPCGlobal norms.<br />

More information on EPCGlobal and USDOD tag formats can be<br />

obtained from EPCGlobal at www.epcglobalinc.org and from the US<br />

Department of Defense at www.dodrfid.org. The following list conforms<br />

to revision 1.27 of the EPC Tag Data Standards Version 1.1. The Gen 2<br />

standard does not mention the use of 64-bit tags, although they are supported<br />

by Fingerprint.<br />
