scope:

This part of ISO 24631 specifies rules and procedures for verifying the capability of RFID transceivers of reading transponders used in individual animal identification complying to ISO 11784 and ISO 11785. In addition this International Standard specifies how to apply for an approval and the rights and duties to use this approval. This document does NOT set out the procedures for evaluating wireless synchronised mobile transceivers and also this document contains no provision for evaluating wired synchronisation of stationary transceivers. This test differs from the part 2 of ISO 24631 "Evaluation of conformance of RFID transceivers with ISO 11784 and ISO 11785", which is intended for testing transceivers with all mandatory features described in ISO 11784 and ISO 11785. The test described here is intended for cost effective non-synchronising transceivers that are capable of reading transponders complying to ISO 11784 and ISO 11785 but have no synchronisation capability and does not have to support the dual adaptive protocol. Furthermore, the activation field frequency accuracy is more relaxed. This type of transceivers will be named: "transceivers capable of reading transponders conforming to ISO 11784/11785". Important note: As there may be electronic interference between transceivers, this type of transceiver shall not be operated within a distance of 10 m from any ISO transceiver. The non-synchronising transceiver shall be marked as such by a label, clearly designating the transceiver as a non-synchronising transceiver and shall carry the warning mentioned above.
