TID memory: It can be read but cannot be written as this memory area is written when manufactured.

EPC memory, UII: This area is to store EPC, an identification code for writing on a GS1 standardized tag. Users can rewrite it. In fact, there are a lot of RF tags without the USER area, so it is used to write own code.

USER memory: this area can be written freely by users. It can hold expiration dates, individual identification numbers, and etc necessary for operation.
