MIL-STD-130 Identification Marking Of U.S. Military PropertyThis standard provides the item marking criteria for development of specific marking requirements and methods for identification of items of military property produced, stocked, stored, and issued by or for the Department of Defense DoD. This standard addresses criteria and data content for both free text and machine-readable information MRI applications for identification marking of U.S. military property.

w/Change 1

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.
