About

Defra Network eTendering Portal awarded a contract to British Standards Institute (BSI Group) for the publishing of the PAS66 document for animal ID tags, valued at AUD 24,000.

The PAS specifies requirements for the performance and testing of eartags used for the official identification of cattle, including electronic identification technology (EID).

It addresses security aspects such as durability, tamper-evidence, and safeguarding against tag reusability, as well as materials, welfare standards, and printing processes.

The main revisions to PAS 44 cover the design, specification, and colour of official primary and secondary EID cattle ear tags and retrospective EID tags, with an expanded scope of tests to ensure EID ear tags remain robust after exposure to cold, heat, and immersion.
