NOTES:

1. THE IDENTIFICATION MARKINGS ON THE PALLETIZED

UNIT LOADS SHALL INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING (SEE

NOTES 2, 3, 4 AND 5). UNIT LOADS REQUIRE THE ADDI-

TION OF ONLY THE IDENTIFICATION MARKINGS THAT

ARE NOT VISIBLE ON THE BOXES.

A) NSN

B) DODIC/NALC

C) LOT NUMBER

D) QUANTITY

(1) BY LOT (IF MORE THAN ONE LOT, SEE NOTE 5A)

(2) TOTAL QUANTITY (IF ONE LOT)

E) ITEM DESCRIPTION (NOMENCLATURE)

F) GROSS WEIGHT IN LBS.

G) PROPER SHIPPING NAME (PSN) AND UNITED NA-

TIONS (UN) IDENTIFICATION NUMBER

H) UN PERFORMANCE ORIENTED PACKAGING (POP)

CERTIFICATION MARKING

2. UNIT LOADS OF AMMUNITION REQUIRE THE ADDITION

OF IDENTIFICATION MARKING APPLIED TO TWO ADJA-

CENT SIDES OF THE LOAD (SEE FIGURE 1):

A) THE IDENTIFICATION MARKING THAT IS NOT VISIBLE

ON THE BOXES SHALL BE ADDED TO THE UNIT

LOAD. THIS ADDITIONAL MARKING IS NORMALLY

LIMITED TO PARTIAL NOMENCLATURE SUCH AS 100

GRENADES OR 10 CARTRIDGES, GROSS WEIGHT OF

THE UNIT LOAD, APPLICABLE MIXED LOT IDENTIFI-

CATION, AND ANY LIGHT BOX/EMPTY BOX DATA

(QUANTITY PER BOX OR NUMBER OF EMPTY

BOXES).

B) UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, UNIT LOADS MAY

HAVE ONE OR MORE BOXES TURNED TO PRESENT

A BLANK SURFACE FOR MARKING. MARKING SHALL

BE APPLIED BY TAGGING, STENCILING, STAMPING,

MACHINE PRINTING, OR LABELS MEETING MIL-PRF-

61002 REQUIREMENTS (USING PREPRINTED LA-

BELS, SECURED ON ALL FOUR CORNERS WITH STA-

PLES ON WOOD BOXES). WATERPROOF MARKING

BOARDS MAY BE USED WHEN IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO

OBTAIN A BLANK SURFACE FOR MARKING. AP-

PROVAL MUST BE OBTAINED BY THE ARMY CON-

TRACTING COMMAND (ACC) PRIOR TO USING MARK-

ING BOARDS.

C) BOXES WHICH MUST HAVE ALL NOSE ENDS

POINTED IN THE SAME DIRECTION SUCH AS ROCK-

ETS AND WHITE PHOSPHORUS (WP) ROUNDS SHALL

NOT BE TURNED TO CONFORM TO NOTE 2(B).

D) WHEN THE UNIT LOAD IS CONFIGURED IN SUCH A

WAY THAT THE PSN AND UN IDENTIFICATION NUM-

BER ARE NOT VISIBLE, THE TOP LAYER SHALL BE

TURNED TOP OUT TO PERMIT THE PSN AND UN

IDENTIFICATION NUMBER TO BE VISIBLE. WHEN IT

IS NOT PRACTICAL TO TURN THE ENTIRE TOP

LAYER, TWO DIAGONAL CORNER BOXES ON THE

TOP LAYER SHALL BE TURNED TO EXPOSE THE PSN

AND THE UN IDENTIFICATION NUMBER.

(CONTINUED AT RIGHT)

(CONTINUED FROM LEFT)

E) UN POP CERTIFICATION MARKING SHALL BE EX-

POSED ON AT LEAST ONE PLACE ON THE UNIT

LOAD.

3. UNIT LOADS OF UNPACKAGED AMMUNITION.

A) UNIT LOADS OF OTHERWISE UNPACKAGED AMMU-

NITION SUCH AS SEPARATE LOADING PROJECTILES

REQUIRE ADDITION OF ONLY THOSE IDENTIFICA-

TION MARKINGS THAT ARE NOT VISIBLE ON THE

PROJECTILES. ANY ADDITIONAL MARKINGS ARE

NORMALLY LIMITED TO QUANTITY, NOMENCLA-

TURE, GROSS WEIGHT, AND MIXED LOT IDENTIFICA-

TION, INCLUDING QUANTITY PER LOT.

B) MARKING MAY BE APPLIED DIRECTLY TO THE PAL-

LET USING METHODS SPECIFIED IN NOTE 2B. WA-

TERPROOF PAPER, METAL, CLOTH OR PLASTIC

SHIPPING TAGS MAY BE USED WHEN THE MARK-

INGS CANNOT BE APPLIED DIRECTLY TO THE PAL-

LET LOAD. TAGS SHOULD BE ATTACHED TO THE

UNIT LOAD BY CORROSION-RESISTANT WIRE OR

PLASTIC TIES. IN ADDITION TO USING WIRE OR

PLASTIC TIES, TAGS MAYALSO BE ATTACHED BY

STAPLES.

C) THE LOCATION AND CONTENT OF IDENTIFICATION

MARKINGS SHALL BE SPECIFIED ON THE AMMUNI-

TION PACKING AND MARKING DRAWINGS FOR SEP-

ARATE LOADING PROJECTILES.

4. UNIT LOADS OF CYLINDRICAL CONTAINERS.

A) UNIT LOADS OF CYLINDRICAL CONTAINERS (SUCH

AS PROPELLING CHARGES, COMPLETE ROUNDS,

ETC.) SHALL HAVE ADDITIONAL UNIT LOAD IDENTIFI-

CATION MARKINGS APPLIED DIAGONALLY AT OPPO-

SITE ENDS OF THE UPPER LAYER OF THE LOAD BY

WATERPROOF TAG, LABEL, STENCILING OR STAMP-

ING IN A CONTRASTING COLOR. (SEE NOTES 2B

AND 3B).

B) UNIT LOAD IDENTIFICATION MARKINGS SHALL IN-

CLUDE GROSS WEIGHT, QUANTITY, MIXED LOT AND

EMPTY/LIGHT CONTAINER INFORMATION.

C) CONTAINERS SHALL BE POSITIONED SO THAT THE

PSN AND UN IDENTIFICATION NUMBER ARE VISIBLE

ON AT LEAST ONE CONTAINER ON ONE SIDE OF

THE LOAD. THE ORIENTATION OF THE CONTAINERS

SPECIFIED IN THE UNITIZATION DRAWINGS SHALL

BE FOLLOWED.

NOTES (CONTINUED FROM SHEET 1):

5. UNIT LOADS COMPRISED OF MULTIPLE LOTS.

A) UNIT LOADS OF AMMUNITION AND EXPLOSIVES

COMPRISED OF MORE THAN ONE LOT SHALL BE

MARKED WITH THE APPROPRIATE LOT NUMBERS.

IN ADDITION, THE LOT NUMBER AND QUANTITY OF

EACH LOT IN UNIT LOADS OF MIXED LOTS SHALL BE

LISTED ON A PLAIN WHITE LABEL OR TAG, AS APPLI-

CABLE, AND SHALL BE PLACED ADJACENT TO

OTHER IDENTIFICATION MARKINGS.

B) THE MAXIMUM SIZE OF THE LABEL OR TAG SHALL

BE LESS THAN A 0.25 INCH IN HEIGHT.

6. FULL CARLOAD OR FULL TRUCKLOAD SHIPMENTS.

SHIPPER OR BY DOD ARE EXEMPT FROM HAZARD

WARNING LABELING REQUIREMENTS.

B) ALL OCONUS SHIPMENTS (EXCEPT THOSE IN INTER-

MODAL CONTAINERS) REQUIRE TWO HAZARD

WARNING LABELS BE AFFIXED ON ADJACENT SIDES

TO EACH UNIT LOAD OF PALLETIZED CARGO OR

ONE HAZARD WARNING LABEL BE AFFIXED TO EX-

TERIOR PACKAGE OF LOOSE CARGO IN ACCORD-

ANCE WITH CFR TITLE 49 AND THE APPLICABLE IN-

TERNATIONAL MODAL DOCUMENT REQUIREMENTS.

THE MARKING AND LABELING REQUIREMENTS IM-

POSED BY FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS SHALL BE OB-

SERVED AS PRESCRIBED BY THE SERVICE DIRECT-

ING THE SHIPMENT. LABELS SHALL NOT BE AP-

PLIED DIRECTLY TO THE END ITEM.

7. BAR CODING UNIT LOADS (SEE FIGURE 2).

A) AMMUNITION AND EXPLOSIVES PALLETIZATION/

PACKAGING LABEL (AEPPL) BAR CODING REQUIRE-

MENTS SHALL BE IAW DEVCOM DRAWING 12999545.

UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, THE FIRST AEPPL

BAR CODE LABEL SHALL BE APPLIED ON THE UP-

PER RIGHT QUADRANT ON THE SHORT DIMENSION

OF THE UNIT LOAD. THE OTHER LABEL WILL BE

PLACED ON EITHER ADJACENT SIDE. FOUR STA-

PLES SHALL BE USED, ONE ON EACH CORNER OF

EACH LABEL, (PROVIDED THAT IT IS SAFE TO DO

SO), TO SECURE THE BAR CODE LABEL FOR PAL-

LETIZED WOOD BOXES.

B) MULTIPLE LOT/SERIAL LABELS SHALL BE PLACED IN

SEQUENCE AS SHOWN ON DRAWING 12999545.

(CONTINUED AT RIGHT)

(CONTINUED FROM LEFT)

C) FOR SQUARE BELL CYLINDRICAL CONTAINERS

WITH METAL TOP LIFT, 2 X 4 INCH AEPPL BAR

CODES SHALL BE PLACED IN THE FOLLOWING TWO

LOCATIONS ON ADJACENT SIDES. ONE AEPPL BAR

CODE SHALL BE PLACED ON THE SIDE OF THE

METAL TOP ADAPTER. THE OTHER LABEL SHALL BE

PLACED IN THE UPPER RIGHT HAND QUADRANT, ON

THE BOTTOM/END, OF A SINGLE CONTAINER. ON

105MM AND 120MM TANK AMMUNITION CONTAIN-

ERS, THE 2 X 4 INCH, UNIT LOAD AEPPL BAR CODE

ON THE END OF THE CONTAINER MAY COVER UP

THE DODIC MARKING AND THE INDIVIDUAL CON-

TAINER AEPPL BAR CODE ON ONE CONTAINER PER

UNIT LOAD.

8. LIGHT LOAD MARKINGS. WHEN A LIGHT OR EMPTY BOX

OR CONTAINER IS ORIENTED SUCH THAT THE ORANGE

COLOR IS NOT VISIBLE IN THE UNIT LOAD (I.E., TOP NOT

VISIBLE), ADDITIONAL MARKING MUST BE PAINTED OR

MUNITION SUCH AS SEPARATE LOADING PROJEC-

TILES SHALL BE IDENTIFIED BY AN ORANGE TAG

PLACED ON TWO DIAGONAL CORNERS OF THE

LOAD, WITH THE TAG MARKED AS "LIGHT (LITE)

LOAD". SUCH LOADS MUST BE CONSTRUCTED SO

THAT THE LONGITUDINAL CENTER OF GRAVITY IS

THE SAME AS FOR A FULL LOAD.

9. ALL NON-MANUFACTURED WOOD USED IN THE UNIT

LOAD WILL BE HEAT TREATED AND MARKED TO SHOW

CONFORMANCE TO THE INTERNATIONAL PLANT PRO-

TECTION CONVENTION STANDARDS (IPPC) AND INTER-
