ISO Selects AIM as International Registration Authority for RFID Standard

AIM, a worldwide industry association for the automatic identification industry, has announced that the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has designated it as the International Registration Authority (RA) for the ISO/IEC 15961 standard regarding the use of radio frequency identification technology for item management. Manufacturers of RFID equipment (readers, tags and so forth), as well as users of RFID technology, require a standard-based data protocol for RFID for item management. ISO/IEC 15961, along with ISO/IEC 15962, specifies this data protocol, which is independent of any air-interface standards defined in ISO/IEC 18000.
