MOST to set national standards for electronic labels in China
China has decided to set national standards for electronic labels to increase competition amongst domestic and foreign manufacturers. China’s Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) will prepare and put national standards for the electronic products. Zhang Zhiwen, an official with the MOST, expressed on the proposal, ‘We make reference to the international standards of ISO/IEC18000 for drafting our own RFID standards’.
He further commented, ‘We need to consider other major technical standards in some developed countries’. The report predicts that the RFID market will boom in the coming days and reach four billion US dollars in 2008. China is adopting this latest technology gradually. It has implemented RFID technology in some of the major sectors.
It is high time for the national government to set standards, covering physical features, interface protocols, reader protocols, coding system, application system and data management, Zhang adds.
