RFID and DoD Policy
The US Department of Defense has issued a series of RFID policy guidelines that state the requirements for its suppliers to meet. Passive RFID tags are required for all DoD contracts issued on or after Oct 1, 2006, for delivery of materials on or after Jan 1, 2006. Passive tags need to be applied to all freight/cargo containers, cases, pallets and to individual "high-value" items that require the military's UID (Unique Identification Code). Containers shipped outside the continental US need to have active tags with content and point of origin information. Beginning in 2006 and 2007, there are additional RFID tagging requirements. For more information, see the RFID Journal article. |
