7、tomatische Identifikation und Datenerfassungsverfahren. This standard specifies the design and the use of the RFID Emblem: an easily identified visual guide that indicates the presence of radio frequency identification (RFID). It does not address location of the RFID Emblem on a label. In March 2009
8、 the European standards organizations CEN, CENELEC and ETSI accepted the European Commissions Mandate M/436 to draw up and execute a standardization work programme for the sector-specific implementation of RFID applications. The focus of the Mandate is the data protection, privacy and information as
9、pects of RFID. It is being executed in two phases. In Phase 1 a roadmap was drawn up analysing the current situation in Europe, identifying gaps in standardization, and identifying the necessary standardization work programme. This phase was completed in 2011. Phase 2 is concerned with the execution
10、 of the work programme identified in the first phase, with the aim of filling the above-mentioned gaps. This European Standard is one of 11 standardization deliverables to be drawn up in Phase 2. Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a technology that touches all aspects of the supply chain, from
11、 manufacturing all the way to the end-use consumer. It is important for industrial users, retailers and consumers to know when and where an RFID tag is present. This standard provides all interested parties with a readily identifiable method to inform users of the presence of RFID. The RFID Emblem p
12、rovides a visible identification of RFID transponders, interrogators, and tagged items. Therefore, this standard meets one of the main requirements for consumer privacy protection.

DIN EN 16656:2014-10 EN 16656:2014(E)5 Introduction Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a technology that touches all aspects of the supply chain, from manufact
31、uring all the way to the end-use consumer. It is important for industrial users, retailers and consumers to know when an RFID tag is present. To this end, the RFID Emblem specified in this International Standard provides the public with a readily identifiable method to inform users of the presence o
32、f RFID. The RFID Emblem provides a visible identification of RFID transponders, interrogators, and tagged items. Visible signs inform consumers whether an item or product contains an RFID tag. Therefore, this meets one of the main requirements for consumer privacy protection. The RFID Emblem is a pu
33、blic-domain object intended to augment rather than replace other emblems and logos such as recycling and CE. The RFID Emblem requires no fee for use nor does it have any membership or other use restriction or requirement, other than compliance with this International Standard. DIN EN 16656:2014-10 E
34、N 16656:2014 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the design and use of the RFID Emblem: an easily identified visual guide that indicates the presence of radio frequency identification (RFID). It does not address location of the RFID Emblem on a label. Specific placement requirements are l
35、eft to application standards developers. It also specifies an RFID Index, which can be included in the RFID Emblem and which addresses the complication added by the wide range of RFID tags (frequency, protocol and data structure). The RFID Index is a two-character code that provides specific informa
36、tion about compliant tags and interrogators. Successful reading of RFID tags requires knowledge of the frequency, protocol and data structure information provided by the RFID Index. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and a
37、re indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

38、techniques Harmonized vocabulary (ISO/IEC 19762 (all parts) 3 Terms, definitions, symbols and abbreviations For the purposes of this document, the terms, definitions, symbols and abbreviations given in EN ISO/IEC 19762 (all parts) apply. 4 The RFID Emblem 4.1 General The RFID Emblems genesis was the
39、 AIM RFID Emblem, developed by the AIM Global RFID Experts Group (REG). The RFID Emblem consists of a unique, public-domain emblem with a two-character code (RFID Index) to indicate the frequency range and, in certain cases, the data structure contained within the encoded RFID transponder. A generic
40、 emblem without the RFID Index is permitted. Due to the incompatibility of different types of RFID, the use of the generic emblem is discouraged. The RFID Emblem may be used in conjunction with other logos or indicia that indicate specific applications of RFID. 4.2 RFID Index Two-character codes are
41、 used to identify the frequency, the air interface protocol, the defining agency for the data, and the data on the tag. This is referred to as the RFID Index. The first character defines the frequency, air interface protocol and defining authority, the second character defines the data structure. To
42、 help installation planners identify encoding or reading equipment suitable for a particular frequency and data structure, a “generic“ code with an asterisk (*) as the second character is assigned for each grouping. This code shall only be used on interrogators and shall not be used on labels or tag
43、s. Currently assigned two-character codes are given in Annex A. Codes not currently assigned are reserved for future use. 4.3 Representation The two representations of the RFID Emblem are dark-on-light and light-on-dark, as illustrated below. Examples of the RFID Emblem for use on RFID-enabled print
44、ers/encoders and interrogators, and for use on labels are also illustrated. DINEN 16656:2014-10EN 16656:2014 (E) 7 Figure 1 illustrates the RFID Emblem. Earlier forms and representations of the emblem are not compliant with this International Standard. Figure 1 Examples of the RFID Emblem Either for
45、m of the RFID Emblem may be used; the form which most visually striking on the printed RFID-enabled label material or tag should be used. The RFID Emblem may also be engraved or embossed in the covering of an RFID tag or item containing an RFID transponder. As described in 4.6 and Figure 2, a generi
46、c emblem with the characters “RFID” is also defined for transponders and interrogators with non-standardized communication protocols and/or non-standardized data structures. 4.4 Size The RFID Emblem should be printed no smaller than 14 mm by 13 mm, in any colour. There shall be a minimum 3 mm clear,
47、 unprinted area around the RFID Emblem. If direct marking on small components/products, a smaller emblem may be used but in no case shall the emblem be smaller than 5 mm square. When represented in a low contrast form, it should be large enough to be easily recognizable under typical use conditions.
48、 The general purpose version of the RFID Emblem illustrated in Figure B.2 has been adopted by the European Commission for use as the Notification Emblem in the Common European RFID sign as specified in this European Standard, EN 16656:2014. Where the RFID Emblem is to be used as the Common European RFID Notification Emblem, Clause 4.4 of this EN shall be understood to permit the emblem to be printed not less than 5 mm square. Design graphics for the RFID Emblem are shown in Annex B. 4.5 Placement Placement of the RFID
