This International Standard defines the usage of read/write radio-frequency identification technology (RFID) cargo shipment-specific tags on freight containers for supply chain management purposes ("shipment tags"). This International Standard, through reference to other standards within ISO/TC 122, ISO/TC 104 and ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 31, defines the air-interface communications, a common set of required data structures, and a commonly organized set of optional data requirements (through common syntax and semantics). It contains the following recommendations: a) recommendations about a containerized cargo supply chain RFID system, based on shipment tags; NOTE Such a containerized cargo supply chain RFID system would co-exist with, but be separate from, a container security and identification RFID framework using permanent container lifetime RFID tags ("container tags"), described in ISO 10374, and cargo shipment-specific electronic seals (e-seals) for which a standard in multiple parts (ISO 18185) is being developed. Specifically, readings for container security and identification purposes of the information in the container tags and e-seals are intended to be in separate messages and not through the shipment tag. b) specific recommendations about mandatory non-reprogrammable information on the shipment tag; c) specific recommendations about optional, reprogrammable information on the shipment tag. Identified within this International Standard are the air-interface and communication parameters for active radio-frequency identification communications using ISO/IEC 18000-7. This International Standard is applicable to freight containers as defined in ISO 668 and to freight containers that are not defined by other ISO standards. It complements ISO 10374 for permanent container license-plate tags (see 4.7), hereinafter referred to as "container tags". This International Standard fully describes cargo shipment-specific tags (see 4.8), hereinafter referred to as "shipment tags". It does not address "smart" container technologies affixed to, or inside, freight containers (e.g. sensors) for supply chain management purposes. These issues will be addressed in future revisions.
