ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 31 Automatic identification and data capture techniques

ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 31 Automatic identification and data capture techniques is a standardization subcommittee of the joint subcommittee ISO/IEC JTC 1 of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), that develops and facilitates international standards, technical reports, and technical specifications in the field of automatic identification and data capture techniques. The subcommittee had its first plenary in 1996, where it established its original three working groups. Additional working groups were established at subsequent plenaries such as ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 31 WG 4 RFID, which was established at the third plenary in January 1998.[1] The international national secretariat of ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 31 is the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) located in the United States.[2]

Scope

The scope of ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 31 is “Standardization of data formats, data syntax, data structures, data encoding, and technologies for the process of automatic identification and data capture and of associated devices utilized in inter-industry applications and international business interchanges and for mobile applications.”[3][4]

Structure

ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 31 is made up of, and six active working groups (WGs), each of which carries out specific tasks in standards development within the field of automatic identification and data capture techniques. Working groups can be disbanded if the group’s working area is no longer applicable to standardization needs, or established if new working areas arise. The focus of each working group is described in the group’s terms of reference. Active working groups of ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 31 are:[1][3][5]
