GRIFSGlobal RFID Interoperability Forum for Standards Support action for global RFID-related standardisation activities, involving in particular organisations from Europe, China, Japan, Korea and USA. Objective of the project is to maximize the consistency of global standards. CASAGRASSupport action for global RFID related activities and standardisation CASAGRAS aim is to provide a standards and regulatory framework to assist in business and enterprise development where attention of RFID from an international standpoint is required.

7. RFID and The Internet Of Things, ETSI, December 2007 7 RFID standards mandate Why do we need standards and interoperability? What can be the topic of a mandate? Identifiers Applications Privacy enhancing technology Frequency spectrum The global picture The RFID standards mandate STANDARDS

8. RFID and The Internet Of Things, ETSI, December 2007 8 Interoperability and standards, why? Closed vs. open systems Up to now, RFID usage has been confined to close system usage Expected potential can only be realised in an open system approach Role of the Commission Stimulate/support global harmonisation of RFID standards Contribute to set RFID standards Role of Industry Actively participate in global standardisation activities STANDARDS
