All other bits of the EPC memory bank SHALL be as specified in Section 9 and/or[UHFC1G2], as applicable.The contents of the EPC memory bank conforms to the EPC Tag Data Standard in theinitialized state if all of the following are true: Bit 17 h SHALL be set to zero. Bits 18 h through 1F h (inclusive), the attribute bits, SHALL be as specified inSection 11. Bits 20 h through 27 h (inclusive) SHALL be set to a valid EPC header value asspecified in Table 16; that is, a header value not marked as “reserved” or“unprogrammed tag” in the table. Let N be the value of the “encoding length” column of the row of Table 16corresponding to the header value, and let M be equal to 20 h + N – 1. Bits 20 hthrough M SHALL be a valid EPC binary encoding; that is, the decoding procedureof Section 14.3.7 when applied to these bits SHALL NOT raise an exception. Bits M+1 through the end of the EPC memory bank or bit 20F h (whichever occursfirst) SHALL be set to zero. All other bits of the EPC memory bank SHALL be as specified in Section 9 and/or[UHFC1G2], as applicable.Explanation (non-normative): A consequence of the above requirements is that toconform to this specification, no additional application data (such as a second EPC) maybe put in the EPC memory bank beyond the EPC that begins at bit 20 h .18.1.3 Conformance of TID Memory Bank (Bank 10)The contents of the TID memory bank (Bank 10) of a Gen 2 tag is subject toconformance to the EPC Tag Data Standard, as specified in Section 16.18.1.4 Conformance of User Memory Bank (Bank 11)The contents of the User memory bank (Bank 11) of a Gen 2 tag is subject toconformance to the EPC Tag Data Standard, as specified in Section 17.18.2Conformance of Hardware and Software ComponentsHardware and software components may process data that is read from or written toGen 2 RFID tags. Hardware and software components may also manipulate ElectronicProduct Codes in various forms regardless of whether RFID tags are involved. All suchuses may be subject to conformance to the EPC Tag Data Standard as specified below.Exactly what is required to conform depends on what the intended or claimed function ofthe hardware or software component is.Copyright ©2005- 2011 GS1 AISBL, All Rights Reserved.
