Technical Checklist: ICAR & SNIG Certification

Project: FluxCow "Immortal Tag"
Target Market: Uruguay (SNIG Compliance) & Global (ICAR Standard)

This checklist serves as the technical plinth for our Design Partners (Softgent, Embit, etc.) to ensure that hardware prototypes align with regulatory requirements before the first pilot.

1. Electronic Interface (ISO 11784/11785)

  • [ ] Protocol: Does the transponder support HDX (Half Duplex)?
    • Note: HDX is mandatory in Uruguay. FDX-B alone is not sufficient.
  • [ ] Frequency: Operates at 134.2 kHz.
  • [ ] Manufacturer Code: Verification of chip provider's official ICAR 3-digit code.
  • [ ] Bit Fidelity: Confirmed data integrity on read cycles in high EMI environments.

2. SNIG Uruguay Specifics

  • [ ] ID Structure: Support for Country Code 858 + 12-digit animal ID.
  • [ ] Operating Temperature: Certified for 0ºC to 70ºC continuous exposure.
  • [ ] Passive Backup: Integration of a standard pasive button if the active "Leader Node" fails or battery is depleted? (Hybrid architecture check).

3. Mechanical & Physical Durability

  • [ ] Weight: Maximum weight limits for sheep/cattle tags (to prevent ear damage/neck strain).
  • [ ] Retention: Locking mechanism designed as "single-use, tamper-evident."
  • [ ] Material: Polyurethane or similar UV-stabilized material.
  • [ ] Read Range: Minimum of 20-30 cm for hand-held readers; 80-100 cm for overhead/gateway antennas.

4. Certification Roadmap

  • [ ] ISO 24631-1: Obtain Conformance report for the custom PCB/Antenna design.
  • [ ] ISO 24631-3: Obtain Performance metrics report.
  • [ ] Local Field Test: Independent lab validation in Uruguay (LATU or MGAP certified lab).
