may be marked separate from the PIN or it may be combined with the PIN, as determined by the activity responsible for the PIN. See Table IX for data qualifiers preferred for use by this standard and the marking protocols for item identification.
5.1.1.2 Item unique identification (IUID) information. Items designated for application of IUID (see 3.2) shall be marked with MRI that contains the unique item identifier (UII) data set (see 3.2). To assist users in identifying IUID designated and registered items, the mark should include a data area title entry of "UID" in close proximity to the Data Matrix symbol containing the UII data set.
5.1.1.3 Unit, group, and set additional information. Units, groups, or sets shall be marked with the following additional information as HRI, unless denoted with an asterisk below as a conditional requirement. The additional information shall be marked as free text if not marked as HRI (translation or interpretation). See Figure 1 and 3.2 definitions for the following:
a. Nomenclature.
b. * Acquisition instrument identification number. c. * Lot or batch number.
d. * U.S. (see 4.9).
e. * Special characteristics. f. * NSN.
NOTE: Asterisk denotes conditional information that shall be included when specifically cited in the contract or purchase order.
5.1.2 Exceptions. Unless otherwise specified by contract or order, the following exceptions apply:
a. COTS (see 3.2) items not subject to IUID marking criteria and which are marked with commercial identification (firm name, logo, trademark, PIN, etc.) that presents no identification difficulty are exempt from additional marking requirements. This conditional exemption extends to COTS items identified on a VICD.
b. Parts within an assembly or a subassembly not normally subject to removal, replacement, or repair, need not be marked unless identified for IUID by contract or order.
c. See 5.2.1.5 for the provisions applicable to marking legacy items with IUID.
d. If a legacy item qualifies to be identified with a virtual UII (see 3.2 (Virtual UII)), mark it in accordance with this standard at the next trigger event (see 3.2).
e. For severe space limitations (see Figure 10), the minimum IUID mark on the item is a Data Matrix ECC 200 symbol. Required HRI may be omitted from the item mark and applied to the packaging as part of the MIL-STD-129 markings per paragraph 4.1.b.
f. For DPM applications, where PIN roll is likely, the current PIN may be marked as HRI
only.
5.2 MRI marking. MRI (Data Matrix symbol) with HRI (translation or interpretation) shall be applied to items specifically designated for IUID by program managers or acquisition activities (see DoDI 8320.04 and DFARS 252.211-70023 for IUID designation criteria). For items not
