## About this tender

This PAS specifies requirements for the performance and testing of eartags used for the official identification of cattle. This PAS will include specification for electronic identification technology (EID).

The security aspects considered are those concerned with durability, tamper-evidence and safeguarding against a tag's reusability, materials including plasticity, welfare standards and printing processes including durability of print.

The main revisions to PAS 44 will cover the design, specification and colour of official primary and secondary EID cattle ear tags and retrospective EID tags. The scope of the tests will be widened to check that EID ear tags are sufficiently robust and continue to function after exposure to cold, heat and immersion.
