RFID is a wireless technology supported by many different vendors for tags (also called transponders or smart cards) and readers (also called interrogators or terminals). In order to ensure global operability of the products multiple test standards have been developed. Furthermore, standardization organizations like ETSI organize RFID Plugtest

Plugtest

PlugTest or PlugFest is a term used about an unofficial event where the designers of electronic equipment test the interoperability of their devices or designs to other equipment. For example CEA organizes PlugFests for interoperability testing between HDMI source, sink and repeater devices. In the...

s, where products from multiple vendors are tested against each other in order to ensure interoperability.

The most important test standards are:

ISO/IEC 10373-6 for conformance to ISO/IEC 14443

ISO/IEC 10373-7 for conformance to ISO/IEC 15693

ISO/IEC 18047 multiple parts for conformance to ISO/IEC 18000
