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.

be clearly identified on the item if different from the source (manufacturer or supplier) EID in the existing mark (see Figure 7).

NOTE: Where instances of duplicate PIN assignments arise within the enterprise, enterprises may choose to utilize item identification (see 3.2) by prefixing the PIN with the original design activity identification, such that each part is distinctly identified within the enterprise.

5.2.1.4 DoD recognized IUID equivalent. Applicable DoD recognized IUID equivalents (see 3.2) shall be constructed in accordance with the specifications governing that equivalent. The IUID equivalent shall be encoded using the syntax of ISO/IEC 15434 and the applicable data qualifiers for the DoD recognized item IUID equivalent in Table VI.

NOTE: Deleted.

5.2.1.5 Assignment of IUID to legacy items. The IUID MRI mark is supplemental to prior marks on the item and the IUID mark only needs to replicate and/or assign UII data set related information; for example, the item source (supplier or manufacturer) and PIN are not required to be encoded in the MRI unless they are also part of the UII data set. When it is determined that a legacy item requires IUID marking, the EID of the organization ensuring the uniqueness shall be the EID used to derive the UII versus any other EID represented in the prior marks. Although existing marks on an item may contain the necessary data set elements for deriving a UII, they do not guarantee the resulting UII will be unique. Only the EID owner assigning the UII can provide such guarantee. Legacy marking guidance is provided in the DoD Guide to Uniquely Identifying Items.

5.2.2 Machine-readable information (MRI) marking protocols. Unless manufacturers follow one of the established protocol standards stated herein, or as approved by USTRANSCOM (see 5.2.2.6), items shall be marked in accordance with ANSI MH10.8.7. The additional information requirements identified in 5.1.1.3 may be marked as MRI and HRI (translation or interpretation) in accordance with the syntax and semantic requirements of the following marking protocols.

5.2.2.1 Airlines for America (A4A). Manufacturers that implement A4A product marking standards shall mark items in accordance with:

a. For linear bar codes: SPEC2000.

b. For Data Matrix symbols: SPEC2000 and A4A CSDD using data qualifiers (i.e. TEIs)

shown in Table VI except that ISO/IEC 15434 syntax with format indicator "12" is required.

5.2.2.2 Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG). Manufacturers that implement the AIAG standards shall mark items in accordance with the AIAG B-4 and AIAG B-17 standards as applicable (see Figure 12).

5.2.2.3 Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). Manufacturers that implement the

CEA standards shall mark items in accordance with the ANSI MH10.8.7 and CEA-706 standards as applicable. Although other manufacturer codes are allowable under this standard, a CAGE code identified with the appropriate Data Identifier is the recommended manufacturer ID.
