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.

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

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. The carrier can be a structured pattern of markings, such as a one-dimensional (1D) or two-dimensional (2D) symbol.

Data Identifier (DI). A specified character (or string of characters) that defines the general category or intended use of the data that follows. ANSI MH10.8.2 Data Identifiers have a format of one alphabetic character alone, or one alphabetic character prefixed by one, two, or three numeric characters. (IAW ANSI MH10.8.2)

NOTE: For IUID marking, allowable DIs are listed in Table VII and explained in Table VI

notes.

Data Item Description (DID). A standardization document that defines the data content, preparation instructions, format, and intended use of data required of a contractor. DIDs are prepared in accordance with MIL-STD-963.

Data qualifier. A specified character (or string of characters) that immediately precedes a data field that defines the general category or intended use of the data that follows. (IAW DFARS 252.211-7003)
