Savant-Garde keeps abreast of all US and Global RFID standards. We work with the EPC, ISO/IEC and ETSI/ERM governing bodies and assure all RFID solutions take standards into consideration. As new standards emerge, we will assess their impact and test technologies, which accommodate these new standards.

RFID Governing Bodies and their published standards:

EPC - UCC/EAN
Joint Venture of EAN International and the Uniform Code Council (UCC),

Current EPC Specifications:

1. EPC Tag Data Specification Version 1.1 -- This EPCglobal Board Ratified specification identifies the specific encoding schemes for a serialized version of the EAN.UCC Global Trade Item Number (GTIN®), the EAN.UCC Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC®), the EAN.UCC Global Location Number (GLN®), the EAN.UCC Global Returnable Asset Identifier (GRAI®), the EAN.UCC Global Individual Asset Identifier (GIAI®), and a General Identifier (GID).
2. 900 MHz Class 0 Radio Frequency (RF) Identification Tag Specification -- This document specifies the communications interface and protocol for 900 MHz Class 0 operation. It includes the RF and tag requirements and provides operational algorithms to enable communications in this band.
3. 13.56 MHz ISM Band Class 1 Radio Frequency (RF) Identification Tag Interface Specification -- This specification defines the communications interface and protocol for 13.56 MHz Class 1 operation. It also includes the RF and tag requirements to enable communications in this band.
4. 860MHz -- 930 MHz Class 1 Radio Frequency (RF) Identification Tag Radio Frequency & Logical Communication Interface Specification -- This document specifies the communications interface and protocol for 860 - 930 MHz Class 1 operation. It includes the RF and tag requirements to enable communications in this band.
5. Reader Protocol -- This specification defines the communications messaging and protocol between tag readers and EPC compliant software applications, including Savant.
6. Savant Specification -- This specification defines the services Savant performs for application requests within the EPCglobal Network.
7. Physical Markup Language (PML) Core Specification, Extensible Markup Language (XML) Schema and Instance Files -- The PML Core specification establishes a common vocabulary set to be used within the EPCglobal Network. It provides a standardised format for data captured by readers. This specification also includes XML Schema and Instance files for your reference.
8. Object Name Service (ONS) Specification -- This document specifies how the ONS is used to locate authoritative meta-data and services associated with a given Electronic Product Code (EPC).
