    d'autre part générer, mémoriser et/ou afficher un signal « DESCELLE » dans la mesure où des données ne peuvent être lues par le dispositif d'écriture-lecture (5) ou que les données lues ne concordent pas avec l'association conforme aux spécifications, entre les TAG (6) et les ouvertures (2) correspondantes.
  6. Système de sécurisation selon la revendication 4 ou 5,
    caractérisé en ce que
    toutes les ouvertures du réservoir, de stockage ou de transport (1), sur lesquelles au moins potentiellement, pourrait avoir lieu une manipulation, comportent des dispositifs d'écriture-lecture (5) et des éléments de raccordement (4) correspondants, avec leurs TAG associés (6), et
    les dispositifs d'écriture-lecture (5) sont constitués par des pointes d'écriture-lecture essentiellement identiques ou des lecteurs de TAG.
  7. Système de sécurisation selon l'une quelconque des revendications 4 à 6,
    caractérisé en ce que
    le dispositif de commande (7) est constitué pour recevoir les données des TAG (6) à travers les lecteurs de TAG (5), et pour recevoir des données de tuyaux ou de tubes (10) éventuellement raccordés et/ou de détecteurs de mesure (8), en vue de la réception, de la mise en protocole temporel, l'exploitation et/ou l'affichage.
  8. Système de sécurisation selon rune quelconque des revendications 4 à 7,
    caractérisé en ce que
    le dispositif de commande (7), par l'intermédiaire des lecteurs de TAG (5) est constitué pour échanger avec une station de chargement ou de déchargement ou similaire, des données concernant le chargement et/ou le déchargement, telles que par exemple la qualité, la quantité, la température du produit ou similaires, avant, pendant et après les opérations de chargement et ou de déchargement.
  9. Système de sécurisation selon l'une quelconque des revendications 4 à 8,
    caractérisé en ce que
    dans le dispositif de commande (7), des données concernant le chargement et/ou le déchargernent peuvent être fixées à l'avance,
    le dispositif de commande (7) peut générer un signal autorisant le chargement ou le dechargement seulement quand les données préimposées concordent avec les données échangées avec une station de remplissage et/ou de soutirage, avec
    un dispositif d'autorisation permettant de mémoriser au moins des données d'autorisation dans le dispositif de commande (7), et
    le dispositif de commande (7) peut autoriser ou bloquer une modification des données mémorisées dans le dispositif de commande (7), en particulier concernant une autorisation de soutirage ou de remplissage, en se basant sur les données d'autorisation.
  10. Système de sécurisation selon l'une quelconque des revendications 4 à 9,
    caractérisé en ce que
    le dispositif de commande (7) est constitué pour lire l'ensemble des lecteurs de TAG (5), en continu, de manière répétitive ou séquentielle, en particulier aléatoire et/ou parallèle, et
    la lecture s'effectue selon une cadence de lecture produite et délivrée par un dispositif cadenceur.
  11. Système de sécurisation selon l'une quelconque des revendications 4 à 10,
    caractérisé en ce que
    les données peuvent être transmises entre le dispositif d'écriture-lecture (5) et un TAG (6) par des ondes électromagnétiques, par induction magnétique, optiquement, par infrarouge, acoustiquement, par ultrasons.
  12. Système de sécurisation selon l'une quelconque des revendications 4 à 11,
    caractérisé en ce que
    le TAG (6) est constitué par un transpondeur, un transpondeur-simulateur ou un transpondeur-émulateur.
  13. Système de sécurisation selon l'une quelconque des revendications 4 à 12,
