Chip technical brief
NXP lists UCODE 9 with 96 bits of EPC memory, no user memory and -24 dBm read sensitivity. That chip sensitivity figure is not a finished laundry tag read-distance guarantee: compare the antenna, textile position, load and reader configuration. Use suitable EPC encoding and a backend item record when the application needs more data than the chip provides. Validate the complete model and attachment through the agreed wash and finishing process; chip generation does not establish wash-cycle life or sterilization suitability.

Buyer one-liner
96-bit EPC and no user memory; compare chip sensitivity and finished-tag behavior separately.
Typical use cases
- ▸Textile and linen identification
- ▸Workwear / uniform inventory
- ▸Retail item identification
Reader requirements to validate
- ▸UHF EPC Gen2 readers: confirm exact model, regional settings and application integration
Laundry Tag manufacturing
RFIDAK supplies textile laundry tags in eight documented LDT301 / LDT7010 models, with separate silicone-strip and PPS-button products to compare. Size, backing, attachment and RF behavior belong to the selected model. UCODE 8 / 9 options are listed on the textile model sheets; confirm the supplied chip before approval. Sewing, pouch insertion and heat sealing have different construction requirements. Obtain the installation settings for the selected tag and textile. Published wash-cycle figures and temperature limits must be read with their process conditions; a chip or material name does not establish service life or sterilization suitability. The standard MOQ baseline is 1,000 pieces; confirm the configuration, packaging, encoding, sample terms and delivery schedule in the quotation.
Typical sizes
- • 70 × 15 mm textile models
- • 70 × 10 mm textile models
- • 58 × 15 mm textile model
- • Other dimensions depend on the model
Materials
- • Polyester textile construction
- • Silicone strip
- • PPS button
Document scope to verify
- • OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 Class II: match the ordered article to the certificate scope
- • Other test reports: confirm the named article and current document
Why source NXP UCODE 9 laundry tags from RFIDAK
RFIDAK lists UCODE 9 as an option on its textile laundry tag model sheets. Select the finished model and attachment before comparing sample performance. UCODE 9 and UCODE 8 have different EPC capacities and chip read sensitivities; these differences do not establish a fixed gain in installed read distance or wash life. Confirm that the chosen EPC format fits the chip, test the production reader and software, and approve the model through the actual textile process. Request current chip availability and keep the approved configuration in the order record.

Planning examples
Illustrative evaluation plans, not reported customer results.
Example 1
Chip comparison planning: test the proposed UCODE 9 model and the current reference model on the same representative textile loads, reader settings and acceptance criteria. Record any changes in construction so a result is not attributed to the chip alone.
Example 2
Data integration planning: agree the EPC format and item database mapping before sample encoding. Validate reads, imports and duplicate handling, then repeat the agreed RF and attachment checks after the textile process.

Frequently asked — NXP UCODE 9 laundry tags
How does UCODE 9 differ from UCODE 8 for a laundry project?▾
NXP lists UCODE 9 with 96-bit EPC memory, no user memory and -24 dBm read sensitivity; UCODE 8 has 128-bit EPC memory, no user memory and -23 dBm read sensitivity. Select a chip that fits the encoding requirement, then compare the complete tag and installed reading task. Chip sensitivity does not guarantee a particular range improvement or wash life.
Can the tag store a full textile record or wash history?▾
UCODE 9 has no user memory. Agree an EPC identifier that fits its 96-bit EPC capacity and use the connected software to store the textile record and wash history. Keep factory TID, printed identification and EPC mapping distinct. Confirm encoding and lock rules and approve a read-back sample.
Which physical laundry models can be requested with UCODE 9?▾
The published textile model sheets list UCODE 8 / 9 chip options. Compare dimensions, backing and attachment on the textile product page and confirm the exact chip and model in the quote. This listing does not establish that a separate silicone-strip or PPS-button product uses the same chip.
How should I validate the model and its UHF reader?▾
Use a compatible UHF EPC Gen2 reader with settings appropriate to the installation country. Test known counts of representative wet and dry textiles and nearby loads. Agree wash, drying, finishing, chemical, extraction and any sterilization exposure separately, then repeat RF and attachment checks at the chosen checkpoints.
What are the MOQ and sample approval terms?▾
The standard tag MOQ baseline is 1,000 pieces. Confirm chip availability, the finished model, backing, encoding, quantity and destination in the quotation. Agree sample charges, freight and timing separately. Check any certificate against the ordered article and its current scope, and record the process approval before bulk production.
