An inspection body uses RFID (radio frequency identification) tags to identify the items inspected (electrical devices that have a cable). The tags are attached to the cables going into the devices, rather than to the devices themselves. It is clear from the tag that the device is subject to inspection, not certification.
The RFID element will contain the details of the device under inspection, including whether it has passed inspection or not. The tag is not intended to confirm the status of the device either way; it simply states that the device has been subject to inspection, whether they pass or not.. In order to ascertain its status, an RFID reader must be used.
The inspection body has requested permission to use the accreditation mark on the tag, to distinguish between items inspected under accreditation, and those that are not.
The question is: Is it OK to use the accreditation mark in this way?

Yes, that kind of RFID marking is acceptable.
