. Apart from the transmission of the (unique) identification code of animals, application of advanced technologies facilitates the storage and retrieval of additional information (integrated database), the implementation of authentication methods and reading of the data of integrated sensors, etc. This standard consists of three parts as described in the foreword: *Part 1: Air interface *Part 2: Code and command structure *Part 3: Applications This standard has been published. On December 14, 2007, the standard entered stage 90.92 ("International Standard to be revised") in accordance with th
ISO international harmonized stage codes
