Aerospace series - Passive UHF RFID tags intended for aircraft use; German and English version EN 4817:2012

Title (German)

Luft- und Raumfahrt - Passive UHF-RFID-Tags für Luftfahrtanwendungen; Deutsche und Englische Fassung EN 4817:2012

Overview

The requirements for RFID tags to be used in the aerospace industry are very different from non-aviation uses. The parts identified by the RFID tags are high value items, which are often used for ten years or more. Reading and writing across a moderate distance, and over the life-spans of these tagged-parts, is expected to improve data accuracy and cost savings. Furthermore, the aerospace industry is subject to unique considerations regarding qualification, regulations, and safety, which are enforced by aviation authorities such as the EASA, FAA, etcetera. These requirements, coupled with the relatively low manufacturing volumes, will drive up the per-part cost of tags developed for the aerospace industry. This will generate the need for a set of RFID tags specifically designed for use on aircraft. Adherence to the standard DIN EN 4817 may decrease the development cost of these low-volume, high-capability RFID tags. The scope of DIN 4817 includes: - Provision of a requirements document for RFID Tag Manufacturers to produce passive UHF tags for the aerospace industry. - Specification of the minimum performance requirements specific to passive UHF tags used on aircraft parts, accessed only during ground operations. - Specification of additional test requirements specific to passive UHF tags for airborne use. These requirements apply in addition to EUROCAE ED-14/RTCA DO-160 (latest issue) compliance requirements separately called out in this document. - Identification of existing standards applicable to passive UHF tags. - Provision of a qualification standard for passive UHF tags which will use permanently-affixed installation on aircraft and aircraft parts. This standard EN 4817:2012 has been prepared by ASD-STAN, Technical Section General. The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) declared the Aerospace and Defence Industries Association of Europe (ASD-STAN) responsible for the preparation of European standards (EN) for the field of aerospace. ASD became the associated body (ASB) of CEN by the agreement dated 1986-10-03. The responsible German standardization committee is Working Committee NA 131-04-09 AA "Avionik" ("Avionics") of the Aerospace Standards Committee at DIN.
