GB/T 43495-2023Tyre attachment classification for radio frequency identification (RFID) tyre tags (English PDF)

3.1 RFID enabled tyre

Tyres with RFID tags installed by embedding, patching or sticking.

4.1 Embedded type

4.1.1 Embedding technology

Embedding technology enables RFID functionality to be used throughout the tyre life cycle, from tyre manufacturing, use, retreading, reuse, and scrapping.

Tyres are composites, made up of several different layers of materials and rubber compounds, so RFID tags can be implanted in any layer or between layers at any point in the manufacturing process. This shall be determined by the tyre manufacturer.

4.1.2 Embedding location/positioning

4.1.2.1 Overview

RFID tags are radio frequency identification devices. Their performance and functionality may be affected by the following factors (including but not limited to).

- The dielectric and conductive properties of the surrounding materials, leading to, for example.

- RFID tag detuning,

- radio transmission attenuation and/or shielding,

- induced current changes.

4.1.2.2 Location

Tyre manufacturers shall appropriately select the design, implantation location and orientation of the RFID electronic tag in the tyre to ensure that the performance requirements are met after conformance testing in accordance with ISO 20912.

Once the RFID tag is implanted in the tyre, it is no longer visible. It is recommended that the RFID enabled tyre be labeled in accordance with Chapter 5.

4.2 Patch type

4.2.1 Patch technology

Patch technology enables RFID functionality to be used from the date the RFID tag is installed until the end of the tyre life cycle. Available for.

- Logistics and traceability;

- Product information defined by tyre dealers;

- Install RFID tags on finished new tyres or used tyres;

- Install RFID tags on non-RFID tyres after retreading.

The traceability of RFID enabled tyres depends on the installation date of the patch

RFID electronic tag.

4.2.2 Patch requirements

The patch type RFID electronic tag is attached to the tyre. Its location is limited to the inner cavity surface and the outer surface of the tyre (for example, the inner liner and the outer sidewall).

Since RFID electronic tags are radio frequency identification devices, the influencing factors listed in 4.1.2.1 shall be considered.

4.3 Sticker type

4.3.1 Sticking technology

Sticking technology enables RFID functionality to be used from the time sticker RFID tags are installed during tyre manufacturing or retreading until before tyre assembly.

Available for.

- Logistics and traceability;

- Product information defined by tyre dealers.

4.3.2 Sticking requirements

Sticker type RFID tags are attached to tyres and their location is limited to the inner/outer surface of the tyre.

Since RFID electronic tags are radio frequency identification devices, the influencing factors listed in 4.1.2.1 shall be considered.

Installers shall appropriately select the design, location, and orientation of the RFID tag to ensure proper use without violating the adhesive RFID tag manufacturer's and tyre manufacturer's guidelines.
