EPC/RFID tags only transmit product data when prompted by a signal emitted by an RFID reader.
Consumers will be informed of the choices that are available to remove or disable, EPC/RFID tags on the products they acquire. Consumers may sometimes wish to keep the tags for ease of product returns, recalls, and recovery of stolen goods.
Such applications are still at an early stage but, as new developments occur and EPC deployment continues to grow, the GS1/EPCglobal Guidelines on EPC for Consumer Products will evolve, while continuing to represent the fundamental commitments of industry to consumers.
It is hoped that further developments, including advances in technology, new applications, and enhanced post-purchase benefits, will provide even more choices to both consumers and companies on the use of EPC/RFID tags.
