Approved Official EID Tags


Implementation of electronic identification (EID) from 31 December 2009 will replace the current double tagging rules for sheep which were in force since 1 January 2008.

Sheep already identified before 31 December 2009 will continue to be recorded in the holding register/movement documents on a batch basis. However, to facilitate the individual recording elements from 31 December 2009 keepers can choose to retrospectively EID if they prefer.

These tags are approved as the animal’s main tag for Official Electronic ID purposes, in line with the new legislation. 

Please note that animals are not permitted to have two electronic identifiers.
