A Study on the International Standard for CCM Related RFID Packaging Technology

CCM(Cold Chain Management)과 연계된 RFID 패키징 국제 기술 표준의 분석

The introduction of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology into cold chain system will be essentials for the better quality preservation of chilled products in the near future. The object of this study is to analyze the trends of international standardization activity for cold chain system and RFID packaging. The standardization of RFID technology is related to SC31 of ISO/IEC JTC1. The established standard from EPCglobal includes the air interface of UHF substitute actors, the control of EPC tag data and the event collected from RFID readers, the directory services and information storage of ONS and EPCIS, and securities. Also, EPC standards include the sensor functions of the cold chain. In Korea, the RFID packaging related techniques and their engineering standard are less studied as compared with Europe or North America. For effective application of RFID in the cold chain and packaging, scientific and systematic researches on RFID, including technical standards for domestic RFID frequency, will be key elements for preoccupation of these application techniques.
