ISO/IEC TR 18047-4:20 04定义了用于确定物品管理的射频识别（RFID）设备（标签和询问器）是否符合ISO/IEC 18000相应部分中给出的规范的测试方法，但不适用于符合法规或类似要求的测试。 测试方法仅要求验证强制功能和实现的任何可选功能。在适当的情况下，这可以由在一般情况下不可用的另外的应用特定功能标准来补充。 ISO/IEC TR 18047-4:20 04中的询问器和标签一致性参数为: 特定模式的一致性参数，包括标称值和公差；直接影响系统功能和交互的参数-可操作性。 ISO/IEC TR 18047-4:20 04中未包括以下内容: 已包含在法规测试要求中的参数；高级数据编码一致性测试参数（ISO/IEC 15962中规定）。 除非另有规定，否则ISO/IEC TR 18047-4:20 04中的测试仅适用于ISO/IEC 18000-4模式2中定义的RFID标签和询问器。

ISO/IEC TR 18047-4:2004 defines test methods for determining the conformance of radio frequency identification (RFID) devices (tags and interrogators) for item management with the specifications given in the corresponding part of ISO/IEC 18000, 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 in the general case. The interrogator and tag conformance parameters in ISO/IEC TR 18047-4:2004 are:

• mode-specific conformance parameters including nominal values and tolerances;
• parameters that apply directly affecting system functionality and inter-operability.

The following are not included in ISO/IEC TR 18047-4:2004:

• parameters that are already included in regulatory test requirements;
• high-level data encoding conformance test parameters (these are specified in ISO/IEC 15962).

Unless otherwise specified, the tests in ISO/IEC TR 18047-4:2004 apply exclusively to RFID tags and interrogator defined in ISO/IEC 18000-4 Mode 2.
