A data record which identifies the press plate 1 or endless belt or use and/or manufacturing data of the press plate 1 or endless belt is stored in the memory. The acquisition of use and/or manufacturing data permits the storage of a precise history of a press plate 1 or endless belt and wireless transmission of this history to a receiver. On the basis of the use data, billing can be carried out which depends not only on the duration of use but also on the press strokes actually carried out. ## Claims ### Claim 1 Press plate or endless belt, comprising a flat body with a stamping surface and at least one external surface which is provided not for stamping, wherein the press plate or endless belt has at least one RFID transponder, and the RFID transponder is equipped with an electronic memory which can be read and written to by the RFID transponder, and at least one data record identifying the press plate or endless belt is stored in the memory. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) Press plate or endless belt according to claim 1, wherein the press plate or endless belt has at least one blind bore or recess in which the RFID transponder is disposed. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) Press plate or endless belt according to claim 1, wherein a blind bore or recess is disposed in an external surface of the press plate or endless belt. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) Press plate or endless belt according to claim 1, wherein the at least one RFID transponder is of an active, semi-active or passive type. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) Press plate or endless belt according to claim 1, wherein thermal insulation is disposed between the RFID transponder and the press plate or endless belt. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) Press plate or endless belt according to claim 1, wherein the RFID transponder comprises a voltage and current source. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) Press plate or endless belt according to claim 1, wherein the RFID transponder is equipped with a security tag. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) Press plate or endless belt according to claim 1, wherein the press plate or endless belt has at least one temperature sensor which co-operates with the RFID transponder so that measurement values can be stored in the memory of the RFID transponder. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) Press plate or endless belt according to claim 1, wherein the press plate or endless belt has at least one pressure sensor which co-operates with the RFID transponder so that measurement values can be stored in the memory of the RFID transponder. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) Press plate or endless belt according to claim 1, wherein use data and/or manufacturing data of the press plate or endless belt is stored in the memory. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) Press plate or endless belt according to claim 10, wherein the use data is selected from the group of data consisting of pressing pressure, pressing duration, temperature of the stamping surface, material of a composite panel, time of a pressing operation, number of pressing operations, name and address of one or more persons or companies, and the manufacturing data is selected from the group of data comprising material of the body, coating materials of the stamping surface, information about surface treatments of the stamping surface and information about the structure of the stamping surface.
