The Department of Defense (DoD) has set out a specific mandate which requires the unique item marking of its property. This includes property already in storage or even in the field, through to new products that are being manufactured and supplied.
To fully understand your marking responsibilities as a supplier to the DoD you should be-aware of the official IUID mandate. This mandate outlines the criteria for how, when and where products should be marked. The DoD has also produced a guidance document which gives you the item marking criteria, MIL-STD-130N.
After two years of development UID UK have brought to the market a highly cost effective marking solution that passes all the criteria set out in the latest MIL standard. Also, as part of our development programme we have worked very closely with Siemens on the verification of the labels, as every label produced must be verified.
