3 Context Identification and movement recording and reporting requirements for animals are covered under Part XV of the Health of Animals Regulations. The tags used under the national Livestock Identification and Traceability program are approved and may be revoked by the Minister of Agriculture and Agri Food Canada, with designated authority to the National Manager of the Livestock Identification and Traceability program, Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA). The approval and revocation of tags is made on the basis of the Animal Identifier Approval and Revocation Framework (RDIMS # ) and of the criteria identified under section 173 of the Regulations: 173. (1) The Minister may approve or revoke a tag, chip or other indicator for the identification of an animal, or the carcass of an animal, for the purposes of this Part. (2) When considering the approval of a tag, chip or other indicator, the Minister shall take into account whether (a) the tag, chip or other indicator bears a unique identification number; (b) the tag, chip or other indicator may not readily be altered or otherwise tampered with; (c) the tag, chip or other indicator is difficult to counterfeit; (d) the identification number on the tag, chip or other indicator is easily and reliably readable; and (e) the tag, chip or other indicator is designed to be retained by any animal to which it may be applied. (3) When considering the revocation of an approved tag, chip or other indicator, the Minister shall take into account whether there is any other tag, chip or other indicator that offers improved performance over that approved tag, chip or other indicator with respect to the criteria set out in paragraphs (2)(b) to (e). One of the responsibilities of the administrator is to test tags and provide recommendations to the Minister as to which tags should be approved or revoked. Currently, the Canadian Cattle Identification Agency (CCIA) is recognized as the responsible administrator for cattle, bison and sheep. The CFIA also received and considered recommendations provided by Agri Traçabilité Québec (ATQ), the Canadian Sheep Federation and the National Livestock Identification for Dairy (NLID). Once a tag has been approved by the Minister, it will bear the official logo of the administrator and a unique identification number following the ISO standard format, i.e. made of 15 digits. The first three digits is the country code following the ISO 3166 standard ( 124 for Canada). A national identification code follows the country code between bit 27 and 64. The first three digits of the national identification code is managed by the CFIA and may correspond to systems where animal identification numbers were allocated, animal breeds, etc. The last nine digits of the national identification code is unique to an animal. One of the requirements of the ISO standard is as follows: 2014/01/21 RDIMS: # Page 3 of 13

4 'It is a national responsibility to ensure the uniqueness of the national identification code. If necessary number series may be allocated to species and/or manufacturers, but this will not be standardized. Ideally every country should maintain a central database in which all issued codes are stored, together with a reference to the database where the information concerning the associated animal can be retrieved'. In order to ensure uniqueness, the CFIA has provided ranges of identification numbers based on species (see Table 1). For each range, subsets of identification numbers ranges were also provided to CCIA, ATQ and NLID. These organizations will be responsible for the allocation of the approved tags, i.e. requesting manufacturers to produce approved tags bearing a given range of identification numbers. Table 1. Ranges of identification numbers borne by approved tags Cattle: 124,000,000,000, ,000,299,999,999 Bison: 124,000,300,000, ,000,304,999,999 Sheep: 124,000,310,000, ,000,319,999, ,000,500,000, ,000,549,999,999 Cervid: 124,000,330,000, ,000,334,999,999 Goat: 124,000,340,000, ,000,344,999,999 Pig: 124,000,400,000, ,000,499,999,999 Equid: 124,000,550,000, ,000,559,999,999 Specific identification policies for sheep Quebec provincial regulation requires that all sheep born in or transported to the province are identified with two tags: an approved tag in one ear and a secondary tag in the other ear.
