FOREWORD

1. This standard is approved for use by all Departments and Agencies of the Department of

Defense (DoD).

2. This issue of MIL-STD-130 continues to provide evolving clarification, increased insight, guidance, and marking criteria regarding implementation of machine-readable information

(MRI) for identification marking of U.S. military property and automatic data capture. MRI provides a valuable tool for life-cycle asset management from acquisition through manufacture to distribution and final disposition. However, the use of MRI may not be suitable or adequate for every identification marking need. The application of free text item identification marking in combination with or in lieu of MRI is still necessary for many end users of the identified item.

Finding the most effective use of both marking protocols, either singly or in combination, is the prime responsibility of the acquiring activity.

3. This standard provides the criteria by which product designers develop specific identification marking requirements for items. Product designers must include in product definition data the specific requirements as to marking content, size, location, application processes, and any required marking materials that will be part of the deliverable item. Simply stating in the product definition data that the marking be in accordance with this standard is not sufficient for initial design, development and manufacture or subsequent production and procurement of replenishment spare items.

4. Acquiring activities must also properly apply this standard in their contractual instruments.

As with product designers, simply stating that items produced under a contract shall be marked per MIL-STD-130 is not sufficient. They must clearly state what identification marking is required, to include the specific item unique identification (IUID) provisions as applicable, and that development of specific item marking requirements be based on the criteria provided in this standard.

5. The definitions and acronyms provided in Section 3 and used throughout this standard are oriented primarily towards the product designer‟s use of prevailing engineering documentation terminology. Some conflict with terminology applied throughout the automatic identification technology disciplines may occur. Every effort has been made to ascertain potential conflicts and provide clear definitions for application in this standard and to cite the published source of existing definitions used.

6. Comments, suggestions, or questions on this document should be addressed to

SUMMARY OF CHANGE 1 MODIFICATIONS

1. New business rules.

a. Added an optional requirement to mark IUID designated items with the HRI data area title “UID” to designate the Data Matrix symbol containing unique item identifier (UII) data set information. The UID title clearly differentiates IUID marks from item non-UID marks.

Example figures were updated to include the “UID” HRI data area title.

b. Incorporated an IUID business rule that permits the use of a single data element in a

UII data set to derive a UII that will always be interpreted as the UII regardless of any apparent ambiguity introduced by additional data elements in the symbol.

c. Added a business rule that precludes both a UII data set serial number and a serial number assigned for tracking under a UIT program or in support of DoD supply policy for serialized item management to be encoded in an item‟s machine-readable information (MRI).

d. Changed Appendix A to show how IUID data elements are linked together to derive a

UII.

e. Added a business process and free text titles to identify items that are part of a

“matched set”.

f. Added a provision that labels may contain a free text warning such as

“AUTHORIZED REMOVAL ONLY” or “DO NOT REMOVE” to preclude unintentional removal.

g. Added a business rule for marking “very small parts” using IUID procedures even when the marking cannot meet the minimum requirements of this standard.

2. Revised business rules.

a. Removed the requirement to encode applicable UII data set component elements when the enterprise encoded the UII data set as a single element – the modified requirement now states that the components only need to be encoded if so specified in the procurement contract or MRI protocol.

b. Clarified the concept that an “item mark” for identifying military property includes all of the machine-readable information (MRI) and human-readable information

(HRI) available from all the applicable labels and direct marking on the item.

c. Clarified the font characters that are allowed for item unique identification (IUID) marking.

d. For unit, group, and set additional information marking, the requirement for an

“acquisition instrument identification number” was footnoted with an asterisk to denote conditional information that shall be included when specifically cited in the contract or purchase order. Prior to this change, the acquisition instrument identification number was required on all unit, group, or set items along with the nomenclature.

iv

e. Deleted the term “concatenated UII” which is a redundant description of “UII”. Used a single term “derived” to describe how specific data elements are linked together to construct a UII.

f. Removed the requirement that free text marking, in lieu of MRI, had to be specified in the contracts for new procurement. MRI marking is “preferred” for all item marking but is only mandatory for IUID designated items; thus, using free text to identify items not designated for IUID marking must be the standard alternative without having to be specified in the procurement contract.

g. Changed the requirement to identify the item‟s source (manufacturer or supplier) enterprise identifier (EID) and the part or identifying number (PIN) of the marked item from non-mandatory (should) to mandatory (shall) to align the marking criteria with the basic provision that identification information shall be contained in the applied mark, whether machine-readable or free text. Several of the approved marking protocols have no specified minimum information requirement.

h. Revised the use of the phrase “item identification” within the standard to only include instances where applications of the term match the definition (i.e.; the PIN or descriptive identifier for a specific item along with the enterprise identifier of the activity that assigned the PIN or descriptive identifier).

i. Added a requirement that the identification mark should include an EID for the item identification enterprise that assigned the PIN if the selected marking protocol does not provide for “item identification”, as defined by this standard. Four marking protocols (AIAG, CEA, NASA, and MH10.8.7) of the seven approved marking protocols have no specific marking requirement that aligns with the “item identification” marking requirement (the A4A, GS1, and free text protocols provide item identification). The data qualifiers preferred by this standard for the item identification enterprise are shown in Table IX for each of the marking protocols.

j. Changed the encode of Data Matrix symbols for a GS1 marked item to require

ISO/IEC 15434 syntax and GS1 AIs (see Table VII).

k. Added a footnote business rule for Application Identifier (AI) 240 that describes its use with AI 01 for a GS1 Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) in accordance with the

GS1 General Specifications.

l. Added AIs 21 and 01 (GTIN) for use as MRI for other than UII data set elements.

m. Removed AI 95 from the tables and figures where it was used to identify the encoded source (manufacturer or supplier) GS1 Company Prefix information for item identification.

n. Added Text Element Identifier (TEI) FAB (fabricator) for use as MRI and HRI for other than UII data set elements.

o. Added a requirement to clarify that the Data Matrix symbol used for non-serialized item Airlines for America (A4A) protocol marks must also be ISO/IEC 15434 standard compliant when the mark is required by a contract provision. This is not a change from the current requirement that specifies ISO/IEC 15434 syntax for all

MRI. However, this requirement is in opposition to the A4A SPEC2000 protocol for v non-serialized item marking, which specifically states that the ISO/IEC 15434 syntax will not be used for non-serialized item marking.

p. Added text to clarify that the requirement for part marking with free text information, which includes design activity information, is based on a condition that MRI marking is not on the item. Also changed applicable figures to identify the examples that are for a “part” and those that are for a “unit” – “unit” marks require additional free text information to include the nomenclature.

q. Changed the figures to update the encoded information and notes to match changed

IUID business rules published in the DoD Guide to Uniquely Identifying Items.

r. Included the Mobile Equipment Identifier (MEID), the successor to the ESN, as a

DoD recognized IUID equivalent.

s. Changed Table VI to add Data Identifier 49P and Text Element Identifier (TEI) ECI as an additional data element not used in the UII to designate that an item is subject to export control and/or restrictions as identified in the Wassenaar Arrangement.

t. Some of the figure examples were changed to indicate DoD‟s preference for the Data

Matrix symbol in an MRI marking.

3. Administrative changes.

a. Corrected editorial errors and corrected MIL-STD-962 compliance style errors (not noted in the paragraph modifications list below), added new definition reference documents cited in revised or new procedural changes. Moved acronyms from

Appendix A to a Section 3 alphabetized list. Changed the section 3 definitions from numbered paragraphs to an alphabetized list.

b. Changed all acronyms that were not proper nouns to lower case in accordance with

(IAW) MIL-STD-962 style examples that follow the cited United States Government

Printing Office (GPO) Style Manual. Retained as proper nouns the code and number entities defined, stored, and maintained by a single authoritative source.

c. Changed the figures to update the encoded information and notes to match changed

IUID business rules published in the DoD Guide to Uniquely Identifying Items.

d. Added a Section 6 non-mandatory note that identifies MIL-STD-130 as the source document for two new Data Item Descriptions (DID) that must be listed on a Contract

Data Requirements List (DD Form 1423) when the Department of Defense (DoD) requires plans, reports, drawings, or other data products to be generated. The DIDs are filed for reference in the DoD ASSIST database.

e. Added USTRANSCOM as a Review Activity.

3.2 Term Definitions.

Acquiring activity. The element of the agency/command that identifies and initiates a contract requirement or may have been tasked by another agency/command to be responsible for developing the contract requirement and monitoring the acquisitions. This can either be a

Government or contractor flow-down to their suppliers.

Acquisition instrument identification number. The Government acquiring activity's contract or purchase order number. When an order shows both a contract number and a purchase order number, the number used is determined by the acquiring activity.

Acquisition Streamlining and Standardization Information System (ASSIST). The official database containing information about standardization documents used in the DoD.

ASSIST also provides electronic access to government documents included in the database over the Internet. ASSIST can be accessed at https://assist.dla.mil.

Altered item. An item whose drawing delineates the physical alteration of the existing item under the control of another design activity or defined by a nationally recognized standard.

The drawing type permits the required alteration to be performed by any competent manufacturer including the original manufacturer, the altering design activity, or a third party. It establishes a new item identification for the altered item. (In accordance with

(IAW) ASME Y14.24)

Application Identifier (AI). The field of two or more characters at the beginning of an element string that uniquely defines its format and meaning. (IAW GS1 General

Specifications)

NOTE: For IUID marking, allowable AIs are listed in Table VII and explained in Table VI notes.

Approved Item Name. The name which is selected (approved by the Directorate of

Logistics Information Management, DLIS, as the official designation for an item of supply), and delimited where necessary, to establish a basic concept of the item of supply to which the item belongs and with which it should be compared. It may be a basic name, or a basic name followed by those modifiers necessary to differentiate between item concepts having the same basic name. Approved item names, basic names, and colloquial names are published in the Federal Item Name Directory for Supply Cataloging (Cataloging Handbook H6). (IAW

DoD 4100.39-M).

Article. A nonspecific term used to denote any unit or product including materials, parts, assemblies, equipment, accessories, and computer software.

Assembly. A number of parts or subassemblies or any combination thereof joined together to perform a specific function and subject to disassembly without degradation of any of the parts (e.g., power shovel-front, fan assembly, audio-frequency amplifier).

Source: http://www.assistdocs.com -- Downloaded: 2012-11-20T16:09Z https://assist.dla.mil/

NOTE: The distinction between an assembly and a subassembly is determined by individual application. An assembly in one instance may be a subassembly in another where it forms a portion of a higher assembly. (IAW ASME Y14.100)

Batch number. An identifying number assigned by the enterprise to a designated group of items referred to as a batch. A batch may be a division of a lot.

Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code. CAGE Codes are used internationally where they are also known as NCAGE Codes. CAGE Codes issued to U.S.

organizations are a five-position alphanumeric with a numeric in the first and last positions

(e.g., 27340, 2A345, 2AA45, or 2AAA5), excluding the letters I and O. The codes are issued for organizations that manufacture and/or control the design of items supplied to a

Government military or civil agency or assigned to U.S. organizations, primarily for identifying contractors in the mechanical interchange of data required by MILSCAP and the

Service/Agency automatic data processing (ADP) systems. (IAW DoD 4100.39-M Volume

7)

Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) item. A product, material, component, sub-system, or system sold or traded to the general public in the course of normal business operations at prices based on established catalog or market prices.

Current design activity (CDA). The design activity currently responsible for the design of an item. This may be the original design activity or a design activity to which the design responsibility has been transferred. (IAW ASME Y14.100)

Data area titles. Data area titles are text that identify data areas comprised of information in machine-readable or human-readable form (see Table VIII).

NOTE: Data area titles may be prefixed, if relevant, by the appropriate data qualifier/identifier (see Figure 2). (IAW ISO/IEC 19762-1)

Data carrier. A physical pattern or structure that contains encoded machine-readable characters.
