The Gen 2 RFID tags support the EPC Tag Data Standard. This contains standards for storing supplementary GS1 data in common fields such as Batch/Lot Number, Due Date, Expiration date.

I am curious whether there are any similar "tag data" standards for the user memory of HF RFID tags with (13.56 MHz center frequency) and specifically those which are ISO/IEC 14443 compliant? User memory refers to the areas in a tag which contains the actual data. For example, in an NTAG-215 or MiFARE MF0UL21 tag there is a user memory from page 4 onwards.

Basically, I'm interested in a standards-based approach for storing data in the user memory area such as batch/lot number and expiration data in a ISO/IEC 14443 compliant tag? Does such as standard exist? Or it is more common to store data in proprietary form?

The air interface etc. of the standard concerning the item management that you are about to use is ISO/IEC 18000.
RFID at 13.56 MHz is defined in ISO/IEC 18000-3.

As described in Wikipedia as "The German identity card contains an ISO/IEC 18000-3 and ISO/IEC 14443 type A compatible 13.56 MHz RFID chip that uses the ISO/IEC 7816 protocols.". It seems that it is not difficult to respond to both standards.

Similar to "EPC Tag Data Standard" is specified in ISO/IEC 15961,15962,15963.

I do not know whether 13.56 MHz RFID tags can be used equally as Gen 2 RFID tags, but I hope that this information will be useful to you.
