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.

MIL-STD-130N

w/Change 1

5.2.2.4 GS1 System. Manufacturers that implement the GS1 System standards shall mark items in accordance with the following, as applicable (see Figures 8, 9, 13, and 14).

a. For linear bar codes, use the GS1 General Specifications.

b. For Data Matrix symbols, use the MHI MH10.8.7 protocol for a Data Matrix symbol

(encoded using ISO/IEC 15434 syntax) and GS1 AIs (see Table VII).

NOTE: A GS1 System mark with a GS1 Data Matrix symbol (FNC1 syntax) may qualify for use subject to the provisions of COTS item marking (see 5.1.2.a.) or virtual UII procedures (see

3.2 (Virtual UII)).

5.2.2.5 National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). NASA aerospace marking standards shall be implemented only for those DoD actions directly supporting NASA programs. When specified in the contract or order, manufacturers that implement the NASA aerospace marking standards shall mark items in accordance with NASA-STD-6002 as applicable. However, syntax and semantics for the Data Matrix symbols shall comply with 5.2.4 and 5.2.5. Detailed how-to guidance for implementing NASA-STD-6002 requirements is provided in NASA-HDBK-6003.

5.2.2.6 Other. The use of MRI protocols other than those stated herein shall be approved by

USTRANSCOM TCJ5/4-T. The acquiring activity shall ensure that the MRI protocol submitted is compatible with established DoD MRI system(s) identified for materiel management.

NOTE: Submit requests for MRI protocol inclusion to USTRANSCOM TCJ5/4-T, 508 Scott

Drive, Scott AFB, IL 62225.

5.2.3 Data carriers.

5.2.3.1 Linear bar code symbol. Linear bar code symbols shall be Code 39 symbols in accordance with ISO/IEC 16388, Code 128 symbols or GS1-128 symbols in accordance with ISO/IEC 15417, or EAN/UPC symbols in accordance with ISO/IEC 15420. The ratio of the wide element to the narrow element shall be within the range of 2.1:1 to 3.1:1 for Code 39 symbols.

The narrow element dimension (X dimension) range should be from 0.0075 inch (0.19 mm) to

0.015 inch (0.38 mm) for Code 39, Code 128, and GS1-128. The narrow element dimension for

EAN/UPC symbols should range from .0104 inch (0.26 mm) to 0.026 inch (0.66 mm).

5.2.3.2 Two-dimensional symbol. The two-dimensional symbol shall be the Data Matrix ECC 200 in accordance with ISO/IEC 16022. Unless otherwise specified, the module size shall be no smaller than 0.0075 inch (0.19 mm) and no larger than 0.025 inch (0.635 mm). Square symbol sizes shall not exceed one inch (25.4 mm). The larger dimension of rectangular Data Matrix symbols, as permitted by ISO/IEC 16022, shall not exceed one inch. Deviations to the stated module sizes and maximum overall symbol size shall be specified by contract if required.

5.2.4 Data Matrix symbol syntax. The MRI data elements shall be encoded using

ISO/IEC 15434 syntax. See 5.2.2 for the specific marking protocols that shall be used.

5.2.5 Semantics. The data elements shall be described by the semantics of ANSI MH10.8.2 for AIs and DIs and the semantics of the A4A CSDD for TEIs. The semantics for IUID are

shown in Table VI. The use of DIs is illustrated in Figures 2 to 4.b, 7, and 12. TEIs are illustrated in Figures 5 and 6. AIs are illustrated in Figures 8, 9, and 13.
