UID labeling involves many steps:
From design to IUID verification
Department of Defense contractors have many details to think about when determining how to
comply with the department’s Item Unique Identification (IUID) requirements.
The IUID program
involves the marking of individual pieces of equipment with a Unique Identification (UID) that stays
with the item throughout its life.
The marking is accomplished using a 2D Data Matrix symbol that is
read with an automated scanner.
Decisions to be made include how the UID labels will be applied to the item; where the labels will be
located; and the size of the mark.
Finally, IUID verification is needed to ensure the symbol is of high
quality and will be readily readable and in the proper syntax.
According to DoD standards, the Data Matrix symbol should remain readable throughout the life of
the item; withstand environmental conditions the item may encounter; and not harm the performance,
durability or reliability of the item.
