!!! Overview[1]
ISO/IEC 18000-3 is an international standard for all devices communicating wirelessly at the 13.56MHz frequency using Type A or Type B cards which includes [NFC] and [RFID]. 

[{$pagename}] standards explain how a device reading the [NFC] tag should communicate with one another.

ISO/IEC 18000 has been developed in order to:
* provide a framework to define common communications protocols for Internationally useable frequencies for radio frequency identification (RFID), and, where possible, to determine the use of the same * protocols for all frequencies such that the problems of migrating from one to another are diminished;
* minimize software and implementation costs;
* enable system management and control and information exchange to be common as far as is possible.

ISO/IEC 18000-1 provides explanation of the concepts behind ISO/IEC 18000-3:2010.
ISO/IEC 18000-3:2010 has 3 MODES of operation, intended to address different applications. The detailed technical differences between the modes are shown in parameter tables.

ISO/IEC 18000-3:2010 provides physical layer, collision management system and protocol values for RFID systems for item identification operating at 13,56 MHz in accordance with the requirements of ISO/IEC 18000-1.

It provides definitions for systems for each MODE determined in ISO/IEC 18000-3:2010.

It defines three non-interfering MODES.

The MODES are not interoperable.
The MODES, whilst not interoperable, are non-interfering.
