The document presents a testing framework for RFID tags in the conceptual form of a pyramid, with high precision primary response test systems using laboratory equipment at the top of the pyramid, and with other systems based on standard readers at lower levels. We explain how Avery Dennison uses a secondary test system known as a test cube to ensure consistency of measurement across functions and locations, in effect providing a pedigree for tags from design to delivery (and viably even to the point of end use). Additionally, we outline a simplified approach to the process known as “sweet spot” identification.
