ISO/TC 23/SC 19/WG 3 - Identification

This document specifies injectable transponders to all animals included in the Equidae family. It describes two (2) injection sites already in use for official identification in different countries. It pictures the anatomically defined injection point as well as the angle and the deepness of the cannula to be inserted into the body.

ISO 14223-3:2018 describes the information that is stored in the advanced transponder memory, its format and the procedures for accessing such information. This document defines two parts of memory: a) the fixed part (mandatory): ISO 11785 data field; Data_Config field; b) the user part (optional): field of fixed allocation for defined data; uses an Object Identifier for data field separation in order to have maximum flexibility for future requirements.

ISO 24631-2:2017 provides the means of evaluating the conformance with ISO 11784 and ISO 11785 of radiofrequency identification (RFID) transceivers used in the individual identification of animals. It also specifies the procedure for applying for a transceiver test registration and the associated rights and obligations of the parties involved. ISO 24631-2:2017 includes a wireless synchronization test applicable to mobile transceivers; however, it contains no provision for evaluating the wired synchronization of stationary transceivers. The test procedures specified in this document are recognized by the Federation of European Companion Animals Veterinary Association (FECAVA) and World Small Animal Veterinarian Association (WSAVA) and, as such, can be applied also to companion animals.

The test procedures specified in this document are recognized by the Federation of European Companion Animals Veterinary Association (FECAVA) and World Small Animal Veterinarian Association (WSAVA) and as such can be applied also to companion animals.

ISO 24631-4:2017 provides the means of evaluating the performance of ISO 11784- and ISO 11785-conformant RFID (radiofrequency identification) transceivers used in the individual identification of animals. The test procedures specified in this document are recognized by the Federation of European Companion Animals Veterinary Association (FECAVA) and World Small Animal Veterinarian Association (WSAVA) and, as such, can be applied also to companion animals.

ISO 24631-1:2017 provides the means of evaluating the conformance with ISO 11784 and ISO 11785 of radiofrequency identification (RFID) transponders used in the individual identification of animals. It sets forth the conditions for the granting and use of the manufacturer code related to a transponder and the associated rights and obligations of the parties involved in the issuance of the code. The test procedures specified in this document are recognized by the Federation of European Companion Animals Veterinary Association (FECAVA) and World Small Animal Veterinarian Association (WSAVA) and, as such, can be applied also to companion animals.

ISO 15639-1:2015 of the injection sites of animal species is related to different species and several fields of interest. After decades of market experience, migration of the transponder is still a problem in most animal species being identified by injectable transponders. Migration is related to several factors. The major issues are the injection site and the application of the injectable transponder but the correct injection site can be dictated by the dimensions (length and diameter) of the injectable transponder. In dogs and cats, this is not a big issue as the transponders used are the smallest readily available. There are several publications which precisely describe the application of injectable transponders anatomically but there is a demand from the community to have a comprehensive overview of all aspects related to the application and use of injectable transponders for different animal species.

ISO 24631-5:2014 specifies rules and procedures for verifying the capability of RFID transceivers of reading transponders used in individual animal identification complying to ISO 11784 and ISO 11785. In addition, ISO 24631-5:2014 specifies how to apply for an approval and the rights and duties to use this approval. ISO 24631-5:2014 does not set out the procedures for evaluating wireless synchronised mobile transceivers and also this document contains no provision for evaluating wired synchronisation of stationary transceivers. This test differs from ISO 24631‑2, which is intended for testing transceivers with all mandatory features described in ISO 11784 and ISO 11785. The test described here is intended for cost-effective non-synchronising transceivers that are capable of reading transponders complying to ISO 11784 and ISO 11785 but have no synchronisation capability and does not have to support the dual adaptive protocol. Furthermore, the activation field frequency accuracy is more relaxed.

ISO 24631-7:2012 specifies rules and procedures for synchronizing RFID transceivers while reading transponders used in individual animal identification complying to ISO 11784 and ISO 11785. The synchronization scheme described herein may be fully implemented within each reader, and such readers when attached to the synchronization bus create a peer-to-peer network (all readers are equal ? there is no dedicated master). Additionally, a cluster of readers, which could be in a master/slave configuration, may also be added to the bus using a dedicated, manufacturer specific Synchronization Interface. The Synchronization Interface presents to the synchronization bus electrical characteristics identical to those of a single peer-to-peer reader. The transceiver conformance standard ISO 24631-2 permits activation on/off timing tolerances of −0/+1 ms and therefore gives reader manufacturers options as to their preferred method for detecting the HDX header; partial or full. However, when synchronizing readers, irrespective of which header detection method is used, it is critical that all readers adhere strictly to the specific timings and timing tolerances as given in the timing diagrams. Particular attention should also be given to fault diagnostics which becomes more important when a reader network comprises products from different manufacturers. The obvious case is where a reader which is part of a network has become detached e.g. sync cable break, and it considers it's self to be now standalone and thus permitted to operate asynchronously to the detriment of all other readers.

ISO 24631-6:2011 specifies the representation of the animal identification information specified in ISO 11784 and ISO 11785 on a transceiver display and its communication from transceivers to systems in which the information may be stored in a database, used for process control or displayed.

ISO 14223-1:2011 specifies the air interface between the transceiver and the advanced transponder used in the radiofrequency identification of animals, this specification being fully backwards-compatible with those of ISO 11784 and ISO 11785.

ISO 14223-2:2010 specifies the code and command structure between the transceiver and the advanced transponder used in the radiofrequency identification of animals, this specification being fully backwards-compatible with those of ISO 11784 and ISO 11785. As a direct extension of ISO 11785, it is intended to be used in conjunction with that International Standard.

It also specifies the procedure for applying for a transceiver test approval and the associated rights and obligations of the parties involved. ISO 24631:2009 includes a wireless synchronization test applicable to mobile transceivers; it contains no provision however for evaluating the wired synchronization of stationary transceivers.
