1. Purpose.
The Under Secretary of Defense has implemented policy requiring DoD components
meeting the requirements identified in Figure 1 to be marked with Item Unique Identifiers
(IUID). Cartridge Actuated Devices and Propellant Actuated Devices (CAD/PAD) items,
regardless of dollar value, are typically serially managed in aircraft maintenance data
systems and therefore are applicable to the IUID requirement.
Additionally, the Air Force Aircrew Escape System Executive Working Group (AESEWG)
and the egress system maintenance community has requested that CAD/PAD items be
marked with Data Matrix ECC 200 on item data plates or items to enhance accuracy of
aircraft maintenance data.
In accordance with MIL-STD-130, this marking instruction identifies marking requirements
that meet the above objectives by tailoring Unique Identification (UID) requirements to
include aircraft maintenance data requirements for both free text Human Readable
Information (HRI) and Machine Readable Information (MRI), which are both mandated
requirements for CAD/PAD items.

2. SCOPE.
This instruction identifies marking requirements applicable to suppliers/manufacturers of
CAD/PAD components. It is applicable to both production of new CAD/PAD components
and remanufacture of service returned, over-aged components. It identifies marking
methods applicable to the various sizes and shapes of CAD/PAD components.
As of this writing, guidance regarding mandated transfer of data to the IUID Registry can
be found at https://dodprocurementtoolbox.com/site-pages/unique-id.

3. Marking Requirements.
Both Human Readable Information (HRI) and Machine Readable Information (MRI) are
required (see section 4). In accordance with the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation
Supplement (DFARS), DoD has mandated the use of Data Matrix ECC 200 as the
standard format for UID MRI markings. Guidance for the construct and application of Data
Matrix markings is contained in MIL-STD-130 and the DoD UID Guide located at
https://www.acq.osd.mil/asda/dpc/ce/ds/unique-id.html. Training, guides and others
resources are located on the left side under the IUID tab.
3. 1. HRI Marking Requirements. The following HRI data is required (as a minimum):
- Item Nomenclature; Per applicable manufacturer drawing
- Manufacturer’s Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE); Five (5) alpha/numeric
characters.
- Item Lot Number; Lot numbers shall be assigned IAW MIL-STD-1168 (current revision),
unless otherwise directed. A new lot number and serial number shall also be assigned for
“remanufactured” CAD/PAD components as opposed to adding a suffix to the original lot
number for a “rework, overhaul or renovation” effort.
NOTE: The requirement for unique lot number has been deleted.
DOM is NOT required if the lot number contains the DOM as
identified in MIL-STD-1168
- Item Serial Number; Serial number shall be up to eight (8) numeric characters.
The serial numbers shall be sequentially assigned and shall not be repeated until
serial number 99,999,999 has been reached.
- Item manufacturer’s Part Number
NOTE: The weapon system Specification Number does not meet this
requirement
- Optional markings: Additional markings (such as manufacturer’s name, logo, contract
number) are acceptable, provided that space is available on the item/data label. Date of
Manufacture (DOM); DOM shall be MM/YYYY and be the same date that is coded into the
lot number.
NOTE: Markings and/or attachments shall make no reference to item
installation…
