The Department of Defense (DoD) established MIL-STD-130 which defines certain standard requirements for labeling and identifying all hardware articles; whether it's a discrete single item or single units comprising a group of subassemblies, components or parts. This standard specifically addresses the requirements of the U.S. Military; and, it mandates all hardware be uniquely identifiable by the application of a label marked with machine-readable characters or numbers which distinguishes any item from every other item, regardless of similarity or difference. MIL-STD-130 is the generic term referencing the standard; iterations and changes which significantly alter MIL-STD-130 are denoted by a suffix appended to the basic standard. For example, MIL-STD-130N superseded MIL-STD-130M.
