RFID Regulations

"There is no global public body that governs the frequencies used for RFID. In principle, every country can set its own rules, but some standards have been made regarding RFID technology. EPCGlobal is the standard that is most likely going to form the basis of a Worldwide standard. The standard proposed by EPCGlobal includes privacy-related guidelines for the use of RFID-based EPC (Electronic Product Code). They include the requirement to give consumers clear notice of the presence of EPC and to inform them of the choice that they have to discard, disable or remove EPC tags. " Source: IndiaTimes
