CCIA Approves First Dangle Type RFID Tag
CALGARY, Jun 20, 2005 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) -- On June 16, 2005 the first RFID tag with a dangle component for optional herd management usage was approved for use in the Canadian Cattle Identification Program. The Canadian Cattle Identification Agency is pleased to partner with Z-Tags in the approval announcement of their dangle-type Radio Frequency Identification Tag.
CCIA Operations Manager, Chris Giffen adds, "The CCIA is pleased to announce the 7th CCIA approved RFID tag. We recognize that some producers are looking for a tag that they can utilize for their own management purposes and we are excited to introduce the Z-Tags dangle type 2 in 1 RFID tag for Canadian producers."
All seven CCIA approved tags have the following attributes:
- A CCIA identification number unique to the individual animal
- CCIA Trademark (3/4 Maple leaf and "CA" letters)
- Demonstrate exceptional retention and readability
- Are yellow in color with a yellow backing stud (unless otherwise
approved)
- Meet all requirements in the Canadian National Standards for RFID
technology
With the phasing out of the familiar bar coded tags, the transition to the use of Radio Frequency Identification Tags continues. As of September 1, 2006 all cattle leaving their farm of origin must be tagged with a CCIA approved RFID tag.
