This International Standard defines the test methods for determining the conformance of 2,4GHz real-time locating system (RTLS) tags with the specifications given in the corresponding subclauses of ISO/IEC24730-2, but does not apply to the testing of conformity with regulatory or similar requirements.
The test methods require only that the mandatory functions, and any optional functions which are implemented, be verified. This may in appropriate circumstances be supplemented by further, application-specific functionality criteria that are not available to the general case.
The RTLS tag conformance parameters included in this International Standard include the mandatory direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) 2,4GHz radio frequency beacon. It also includes the optional on-off keyed, frequency shift keyed (OOK/FSK) short-range radio frequency link and the optional magnetic air interface.
Unless otherwise specified, the tests in this International Standard apply exclusively to RTLS tags defined in ISO/IEC24730-2.
