It is part of the ISO 18000-6 and is the most commonly used standard for the communications between tags and readers in ultra-high frequency (860 to 930 MHz). ISO 18000-7 is another widely-accepted international standard that specialized for air interface in the 433 MHz frequency band. Other ISO 18000 family includes:
- ISO 18000-1 Generic parameters for air interfaces in globally accepted frequencies
- ISO 18000-2 Specialized for air interface in the 135 KHz frequency band
- ISO 18000-3 Specialized for air interface in the 13.56 MHz frequency band
- ISO 18000-4 Specialized for air interface in the 2.45 GHz frequency band
- ISO 18000-5 Specialized for air interface in the 5.8 GHz frequency band
