Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are
members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical
committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical
activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the
work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee,
ISO/IEC JTC 1.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for
the different types of document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject
of patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the
Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation on the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions related to conformity
assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the WTO principles in the Technical
Barriers to Trade (TBT), see the following URL: Foreword — Supplementary information.
The committee responsible for this document is ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee
SC 31, Automatic identification and data capture techniques.
ISO/IEC 24769 consists of the following parts, under the general title Information technology — Real-
time locating systems (RTLS) device conformance test methods:
— Part 2: Test methods for air interface communication at 2,4 GHz
— Part 5: Test methods for chirp spread spectrum (CSS) at 2,4 GHz air interface
— Part 61: Low rate pulse repetition frequency Ultra Wide Band (UWB) air interface
— Part 62: High rate pulse repetition frequency Ultra Wide Band (UWB) air interface

Introduction
ISO/IEC 24730-61 defines the air interfaces and an application programming interface for Real Time
Locating Systems (RTLS) devices used in asset management applications.
This International Standard contains all measurements required to be made on a product in order to
establish whether it conforms to ISO/IEC 24730-61.
Test methods for measuring performance of equipment compliant with ISO/IEC 24730-61 are given in
ISO/IEC 24770-61

Information Technology — Real Time Locating System
(RTLS) Device Conformance Test Methods —
Part 61:
Low rate pulse repetition frequency Ultra Wide Band
(UWB) air interface
1 Scope
This International Standard defines the test methods for determining the conformance of Ultra
Wide Band real-time locating system (RTLS) tags with the specifications given in the corresponding
parts of ISO/IEC 24730-61, 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 to the general case.
Unless otherwise specified, the tests in this International Standar
