Transcript Solution part I: Compulsory Identification

Technical and management conditions for
an EU wide system of I&R for dogs
Puppy Trade in Europe, Brussels, 26th of November 2013
Presented by Dr. med. vet. Sven Hüther
Terminology, avoiding misunderstandings
1. Microchip =
Silicon = Intelligence
2. Antenna =
a) Ferrite core
b) Air coil
3. Surrounding material: here BIOGLASS (class 8625)
The antenna for ear tags is air coil, the surrounding
material plastics.
A transponder is a product, which is built by the 3
components microchip with antenna and surrounding
material.

Actual situation
EU legislation
 EC 998/2003 – passport regulation linked to
transponder
 EC 576/2013, 577/2013
Conditions: Conform to ISO 11784 and ISO 11785
Much more important: conformity on ISO 24631-1
Facts:
The risk of inappropriate, wrong, double or untraceable
codes across the EC needs a structured monitoring
For the political side the details for a well working regulation
are very technical and usually it is intended to keep it very
simple, but dealing with electronics means understanding it and
that means also to look at details

Principle of ISO 11784 code structure
15 digits figure – guaranteed uniqueness
3 digits for country code according to ISO
3166 or for manufacturer code
according to ICAR approval
12 digits animal or unique ID code

Actual use of 11784 in the EU Member States
Different National regulations:
Forbidden country code: UK and Belgium
Country code + manufacturer code: CH, Slovenia, Serbia
Country code + 1 digit + 2 digits (991-ICAR manufacturer
code): NL, DK
Country code structured but not monitored: Italy
Country code use not structured at all: HU
Full organised and monitored system: FR, JP
No regulation: Germany, Poland, Spain, Greece, Portugal
How can effective measures across borders be effective
and how will control officers understand this system?

National regulation of the country code
use (UK, BE, CH)
England as well as Belgium:
the use of the country code for pets is strictly forbidden by
DEFRA, only transponders with manufacturer code
(Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)
In Belgium the use of the country code is forbidden as well
but with a lot of detailed regulation for the passport
Switzerland, Slovakia, Slovenia:
in the national code the first position is 0 and on the
following 3 positions is the ICAR manufacturer code

National regulation of the country code

Denmark and Netherlands (Wismans system):
the first position in the national code is a 2*
the figures 2 and 3 are the result of the subtract of 991 –
the ICAR manufacturer code; for Planet ID i. E. 991 –
972 = 19, Planet ID Code for NL und DK = 219.

2*= The responsibility for the uniqueness of the codes are given to the manufacturer
In this structure it is not possible to built a country coded
transponder with a shared manufacturer code
France:
NOR: AGRG0101247A, regulates, that all dogs, cats and
ferrets born in France have to be identified by a
7
transponder with French country
code.

ferrets; 25 = horses; 22 = wild animals.

In Germany there is no regulation and no monitoring of the
country code use for companion animals. The BMELV does
not see a need for a regulation. The same status as Greece,
Spain, Portugal, Poland and others.

11784 conform: is the code readable with an ISO 11785 reader?
24631-1 conform: is the transponder approved and the code conform?
Manufacturer code: can the manufacturer be verified in the code?
Traceability possibility: is it possible to trace the animal?
Double code check: will double codes be verified in the system?
Guaranteed uniqueness: is it required that the approved manufacturer is
running a database to store chip UID and ISO 11784 code?
 Passport number storing: is the passport number registered together with
the animal transponder number? 10

Summary of the implementation in the EC
 The identification code is based on ISO 11784.
 The EU directives leave any other regulation to the National
Authorities.
 There is no common regulation for country or manufacturer
code to be used. There is no mandatory registration.
 To establish traceability and traces, mandatory country code as
well as mandatory registration are the essential basics.
 The regulations in the Member States have been put in place in
a way that this is not understandable for the control officers.
 The newest organisational and technical changes have not been
taken into consideration
 The process to get an understandable system is by far too slow
 Important decisions and measures have to be taken
11
Future law and regulation
The actual regulation for the use of ISO 11784, the code structure, is
not sufficient, more regulation is needed so that control officers will be
able to take the right action.
1. Responsibilities on the political side on EC level:
•
EC develops guidelines and directives
•
EC gives clear instructions to the member States about the details how to use
the system (nominating minimum conditions and education program for the
members)
2. Responsibilities on the political side on National level
•
Responsible Ministry coordinates the code structure for the country
•
Responsible Ministry nominates the Competent Authority also for pets
•
The Competent Authority coordinates the use of the country code and the
guarantee for traceability with the manufacturers
•
The Competent Authority allocates the manufacturer to be allowed to sell in
the country including a contract with penalties and consequences for nonrespecting the rules
12
Needs for I & R including traceability
1. Mandatory use of country code according to ISO 3166
2. Mandatory unique passport (no second passport without
official approval)
3. Mandatory registration of owner and pet including the
passport in a National data-base
4. Mandatory, regular transfer of data from the National
data base into a European centralised data base
5. Ban of reuse of the transponder and the passport
6. One Ministry on National level shall be responsible for
the official identification scheme of all animal species
7. All Competent Authorities need the same education
level, a special training to have the same Know-how
13
Definition of Traceability
A lot of people speak about traceability, but do we all think the same?
1. Competent Authority for the passport as well as for the
transponder manufacturer approval gets nominated by the Ministry
2. Competent Authority authorizes companies or organisations to
produce the passport or transponders with their allocated code
3. Authorised company or organisation decides upon a passport
manufacturer, for the transponders the approved manufacturer
needs to follow the ISO and National rules
4. Approved manufacturers keep a record of all issued passport
numbers and/or transponder numbers and keeps a record whom
the passport and/or transponders have been handed over
5. Veterinary or allowed person who has received the passports
keeps a record which passport number is linked to which animal,
which means to the animal transponder
