BS ISO 20909:2019

What is ISO 20909– RFID about?

ISO 20909 specifies requirements for using an RFID tag to individually identify a tyre.

ISO 20909 applies to radio frequency identification (RFID) enabled tyres using passive RFID tags. Tyre manufacturers consider the use of RFID during the tyre’s life cycle.

Three RFID tyre tag technologies are considered in ISO 20909:

• Embedded
• Patch
• Sticker

Tyre tags described in ISO 20909 can be used for all tyre categories.

ISO 20909 has been developed to offer tyre manufacturers the possibility to use RFIDs throughout tyre life. Therefore, the passive tag solution without batteries has been adopted.

Who is ISO 20909– RFID for?

ISO 20909 on RFID tyre tags is relevant to:

• Manufacturers of tyres
• Mechanical Engineers
• Automobile industry
• Dealers and suppliers of automobile tyres
• Any entity responsible for testing and quality of tyres

Why should you use ISO 20909– RFID?

RFID tags embedded in tires ensure reliable tire identification and enable to build data driven services & solutions.

ISO 20909 specifies the requirements for using and installing RFID tags in tyres, since each tyre is identified by its unique identification code when using RFID tags.

ISO 20909 provides methods to determine the water vapour transmission rate using edge seal methods that are used for electronic equipment.

ISO 20909 covers all significant requirements, methods and is used to seal electronic devices and equipment.

Overall, ISO 20909 has been developed to offer tyre manufacturers the opportunity to use RFIDs for the lifetime of a tire, so users can uniquely identify each and every tyre using the tag and can improve the quality of operations such as maintenance and warranty.
