The GS1 US Tagged Item Performance Protocol (TIPP) Guideline provides a standard means to express performance requirements and a standard test protocol to verify the performance of a tagged item (not an inlay). Using the new TIPP Guideline, retailers and retail product manufacturers can specify and measure the RFID performance grade of tagged items. This grading system simplifies properly setting up RFID environments, choosing tagging solutions for products, and sharing information between retailers and suppliers throughout the industry. This session will review the fundamentals of TIPP and provide guidance for retailers, suppliers and solution providers to start using TIPP to simplify the RFID supply chain.
