Microchipping
The programme
The NZVA’s Microchip Quality Assurance Scheme is open to all practices that use microchip identification for animals.
What's involved
The Microchip Quality Assurance Scheme manual details:
- The ISO compliant microchips.
- ISO compliant readers.
- The approved implantation sites for most species.
- The approved scanning technique as developed by WSAVA.
The manual also provides copies of generic certificates for animal owner information details along with certificates for change of addresses, change of ownership and pet death details.
The benefits
Accreditation to this scheme will ensure that the veterinary profession maintains its protocol of openness and transparency around the identification of animals.
