Since light weight temporary facility members are used number of times and are deteriorating over a long period, a maintenance management system using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology has been desired for the purposes of controlling usage and tracking and inquiring usage records. RFID systems suitable for these purposes would need long communication distance between RFID tags and an antenna and should be able to be pasted on metal. Therefore, in this research, experiments were executed by using and pasting Utlra-high Frequency (UHF) RFID tags, of which usage was just allowed since 2005 April in Japan, onto steel pipes, scaffolds, frames, and clamps for investigating the readability. 2.45 GHz RFID system was also used for comparison purpose. The experiment results showed that UHF RFID has a strong potential for applying to controlling and managing pipes, scaffolds, frames of light weight temporary facilities
