Description / Abstract:
The scope of this document is to:
• Provide a requirements document for RFID Tag Manufacturers to produce active RFID tags for the Aerospace industry. •Identify the minimum performance requirements for active RFID tags to be used on or in close proximity to aircraft.
• Specify the test requirements specific to active RFID tags for aircraft use, in addition to RTCA DO-160 compliance requirements separately called out in this document.
• Identify existing standards applicable to active RFID Tag.
• Provide a certification standard for RFID tags which will use permanently-affixed installation on aircraft and aircraft parts.
• Battery standards are separately captured and not included in this document.
Purpose
Active and battery assisted passive RFID tags are being widely endorsed for aircraft applications. Some of the applications include, sensing temperature, vibration, stress, fatigue, cargo handling, etc. Because these tags have a battery and transmit RF there is a possibility they could interfere with safety of flight.
This document contains minimum performance standards for the active and battery assisted passive RFID tags (hereafter refers to as active RFID tags). These standards specify tag characteristics that should be useful to designers, manufactures, installers and users of the tag.
