A device and method of sealing a container comprises a mechanical bolt (201') with a circuit disposed thereon. The circuit includes RFID function. When a captivating device (203) is joined with one end of the bolt (201') the RFID circuit changes state and operates to transmit symbolic data. When the bolt is severed or cut off the RFID circuit again changes state and operates to transmit other symbolic data. Cette invention concerne un dispositif et un procédé permettant de sceller un conteneur, lequel dispositif comprend un boulon mécanique (201') sur lequel repose un circuit. Le circuit comprend une fonction RFID. Lorsqu'un dispositif de verrouillage (203) est raccordé à une extrémité du boulon (201'), le circuit RFID change d'état et fonctionne pour envoyer des données symboliques. Lorsque le boulon est rompu ou coupé, le circuit RFID change à nouveau d'état et fonctionne pour envoyer d'autres données symboliques.
