UNE-EN 4906:2023

This document is applicable in the aeronautical domain to on-board parts and to equipment intended to be embedded or positioned on any civil or military airborne vehicle with a type certificate.

The purpose of this document is to guide design, manufacturing, maintenance and operations organizations in the installation, removal and replacement of RFID tags (UHF and HF) and Contact Memory Buttons (CMB), according to the environments defined in RTCA DO-160/EUROCAE ED-14 and according to the type of support and the expected fixation performances. This guide will provide help in the specification of the tag installation/removal functions and/or will enable the solutions on offer from tag suppliers to be enhanced.

The term tag used in this document covers all the tags used to store electronic data, including RFID tags and CMB tags. As a reminder, the tags can also contain information that can be read by devices other than RFID or CMB readers (e.g. bar codes - Data Matrix, QR codes, etc., and/or alphanumerical characters) and information that can be read by the naked eye without any tools (human-readable).
