DASH7 Certification

A global program designed to offer a neutral resource

to provide testing and certification of tags and readers

based on:

ISO 18000-7 Standard

ISO 18047-7 Conformance Test Methods

DASH7 Alliance Extensions

DASH7 Alliance Owns the program

A trusted source for certification and information

Strategic Reasons for

Certification

Certified products reduce costs of implementations

Minimize integration issues related to conformance andinteroperability

Reduce product development costs Qualified test equipment

Grow adoption of ISO 18000-7 based technology Minimize investment risks for End-User companies

Allow vendors with certified products to differentiatethemselves

DASH7 Certification

Conformance Testing Testing conducted to measure a devices conformance to a given standard.

ISO 18047-7 Conformance Test Methods will be used as a base to developConformance Test specification and test scripts.

Interoperability Testing Testing conducted to measure a devices ability to operate with other devices.

In the absence of ISO interoperability test methods, DASH7 will developInteroperability Test Methods and test scripts.

A device must pass both tests to get certified.

Notes

Performance testing is not included in the certification program

PlugFest is not a certification

PlugFest Objectives

Identify interoperability problems

Test basic functions

Test compatibilities: readers-tags

Identify different interpretations of standards Help define interoperability testing approach

PlugFest improves standards and interoperability of DASH7 productsMajor step in preparation for Certification Testing

No Pass/Fail of specific tests reported!


12/1812

Participation

Current DASH7 subscription

Application and payment received

No limit on number of devices submitted!

Readers and Tags

Readers (a backup of each reader)

Tags (at least 3 tags of each type/model)

Developers and engineers are welcome 2-3 experts max from each company


13/1813

How to Prepare for PlugFest?

Participate on DASH7 T&C WG

Provide comments on test cases

Reader manufacturers responsible for automating test scripts

Dedicated applications

Can use RFID III applications Prepare your devices

Ensure development team support is available

Send application to MET Labs asap

Provide us with company logo in .EPS format for picture taking

Make travel plans

MET Labs contact: [email protected]

14/1814

Test Cases

DOD Test Cases

Automated and are executed using PAT Java scripts used under RFID III

Participants with readers need to provide laptop with scripts and CAI driver for executing

the scripts

Enhanced to include data for EPCglobal, Sensors and GPS

Test scripts for the enhancement developed by DASH7 T&C WG (available on Kavi)

Finalized scripts will be provided to the participants

Vendors that did not participate in RFID III should develop their own test scripts

Out of the box Test Cases

All Readers will read each Tag that has been written to by all other Readers

A Reader will read a tag from a population of Tags

Note:

All test cases are available to DASH7 T&C WG members under PlugFest 2010 Kavi folder


15/1815

Out of the box cont

Participants need to have an user interface that is able to command a

reader to execute mandatory commands as outlined in the Out of the

box test cases

Responses from tags should be decoded and made visible to engineer

from MET Labs so that the data can be verified.

Tags need to be pre-programmed with specific data in the user

accessible memory locations

this data will be provided to each participant before the PlugFest

MET Labs may revise the current documents.

Advance notice will be provided if changes are made.


16/1816

Logistics

Two semi-anechoic chambers

Round-robin fashion until all readers have been tested with all tags

Testing order will be selected at random on the day of the PlugFest

Witnessed testing by reader and tag participants

Issue Resolution Test Engineers

Two experienced engineers and support staff

Las Vegas principle

DASH7 press release after completion of DASH7 PlugFest List of vendors and interoperable products will be listed on DASH7

Certification pages
