This method will process a kill command e.g. like specified in GS1 EPCglobal™, ISO/IEC 18000-63 and ISO/IEC 18000-3. The related standard depends on the RFID technology which is in use. The kill command allows an interrogator to permanently disable a transponder.
See Annex B for technology specific mappings.

An example is the ScanDataEpc where only the parameter UId is relevant for this Method. If the Identifier is provided from a different source than the ScanResult, a ScanData with a ByteString can be used to pass a UId where the CodeType is set to ‘UId’. |
