Table 2. — RFID Eartags – Printing Standards and Description for Eartags
Printing Description
•
•
•
•
•

The tag must have the official eartag shield imprinted on its surface1 imprinted at a minimum height of 5 mm (0.2 inches).
The tag must bear the entire official animal number and imprinted at a minimum height of 5 mm (0.2 inches). For AIN
tags a space must be inserted between each 3rd digit of the AIN imprinted on the AIN tag, e.g., 840 003 123 456 789.
The font for all characters for required information imprinted on the tag must be Arial or, if different, approved by APHIS.
The text “UNLAWFUL TO REMOVE” must be imprinted on the tag.2 and must be a minimum height of 3 mm (0.12
inches).2
All NUES and AIN characters that are part of the official number format must be 5mm (3/16 of an inch) high and easily
readable with 20/20 vision at a distance of 30 inches (0.75 m).
Note: Exception may be made for small size tags, in particular RFID tags, that do not allow the printing of the official
identification number at 5mm but are clearly read at the required distance

•
•
•

•

An indentation of the manufacturer’s unique, copyrighted logo or trademark must be easily observed on the tag. Having
such information permanently imprinted on the tag is also acceptable.
Printing of other information may be authorized if it does not compromise the readability of the required information.
Visual only tags must be imprinted with a 2D Data Matrix that conforms with the ECC200 Data Matrix protocol. The data
matrix is to be printed on the device in a square approximately 5mm x 5mm and should be a two dimensional
representation of the official animal number printed on the tag. The data matrix must be imprinted on any part of the tag
containing official animal identification number. Readability (percent of data matrix read) on new tags being shipped from
the manufacturing plant must be at 100% when read with a camera based image reader (barcode reader).
AIN tags that contain RFID technology must have the 2D Data Matrix described above imprinted on the tag piece that
contains the official animal number unless waived by USDA.

VS Form 1-64

1

The above printing standards are for visual identification, and the visual eartag is the animal's official identifier. Radio frequency
identification technology (RFID) may be incorporated in the visual tag when the above printing criteria is met. Such technology is
considered supplemental identification. Tags with RFID technology must have all 15 digits of the AIN printed on the portion of the
tag that contains the transponder which is coded with the identical 15 digit AIN. Imprinting the AIN on the portion of the tag that
does not contain the transponder is optional, but when this is the case, the tag set is packaged in containers or trays so that the
two pieces are maintained as a pair until they are applied.
2 In order for producers, market operators, and animal health officials, etc., to recognize eartags as "Official", it is essential that the
official eartag shield be visible on the animal after it is tagged. Similarly, in order to emphasize the need to maintain this
identification for the life of the animal, it is necessary to have the text, "UNLAWFUL TO REMOVE" clearly visible. Therefore, the
official eartag shield must be printed on both parts of a two part tag, and the text, "UNLAWFUL TO REMOVE" must be printed on
the portion of the eartag that is most visible following application.

For small button tags, the "UNLAWFUL TO REMOVE" text must be printed on the back piece of the tag (outside of ear). For
panel tags, the text must be printed on the back piece (outside of ear), but may also be printed on the front piece (inside of ear).

Table 3 — Radio Frequency Technical Standards
RFID Low Frequency Devices

All transponders must have ICAR Full Certification.

Ultra High Frequency Devices

Devices must comply with:
ISO 18000-6C (EPC Gen 2) and USDA Interim Tag Data Standard
Once ISO UHF Standards are approved, all UHF identification
devices must be fully certified by the governing registration authority
for UHF devices.

Electronic Read Rates and
Ranges

In a laboratory with a neutral electromagnetic environment:
Transponders must have a 100 percent read rate in best orientation
at 24 inches (60 cm) in a stationary test and a moving test of 1
m/sec over a passage length of at least 20 inches (50 cm). Note:
This test information is optional.
Low frequency tags: In a field test environment: Transponders must
be reliably machine read at a rate of 95 percent without regard to
orientation by a standardized dual HDX/FDX reader, as cattle (or
other species) move by in a single file passage at 4 mph (1m/sec).
High frequency tags: In a field test environment: Transponders must
be reliably machine read at a rate of 95 percent without regard to
orientation by a compatible reader at the read distance designated
by the applicant.

Expected tag life

The minimum time that a tag shall be expected to remain functional
(electronically) is for the expected life of the animal.

Transponder security

The official number encoded within each transponder must not be
able to be altered and must be contained within the tag.
Tags will be tamper-evident and impossible to unseal without visible
evidence of tampering.

Transponder failure rates

The transponder within the tag shall be reliable and machinereadable for the expected lifetime of the animal.

Table 4 — AIN/RF Implants Performance Criteria and Characteristics
Read Range

The transponder must have a minimum read range of 4 inches with a
handheld transceiver (reader).
Note: USDA APHIS will use an inventoried transceiver that reads ISO
compliant transponders to test the read distance. Applicants submitting
non-ISO transponders must also provide a reader with their application.

Anti-migration

The transponder shall be constructed to prevent migration after
implantation.

Transponder security

The AIN encoded within each transponder shall not be alterable (changed to
represent a different AIN than what was initially encoded in the
transponder).

Expected transponder life

The minimum time that a transponder shall be expected to remain functional

Transponder failure rates

The transponder shall be reliable and machine-readable for the expected
lifetime of the animal with a failure rate of less than 1% per annum.

cause harm to the animal.
