Radio Frequency Identification Centre : Sponsors/Associates : BERR

"It's early days with RFID but it's taking off rapidly. An independent centre is vital for educating and assisting organisations in deploying the technology and we are determined to work closely with the RFID Centre to make it a success," Richard Foggie, Head of the eServices Group at the Department for Business Enterprise & Regulatory Reform.

BERR is actively encouraging the adoption of RFID. For example BERR partly funded the M&S trial where RFID tags were used on a selection of men's suits, shirts and ties at their High Wycombe store between 13 October and 7 November 2003.
