To implement a policy establishing a strategic imperative for uniquely identifying tangible items relying to the maximum extent practical on international standards and commercial item markings and while not imposing unique government data requirements.

Uniquely identified (UID) tangible items will facilitate item tracking in DoD business systems and provide reliable and accurate data for management, financial, accountability and asset management purposes.

UID Collaborative Solution Issue

• Using the syntax of ISO/IEC 15434, the collaborative solution provides for three interoperable formats:

(Format has to be assigned by SC 31, all 2-digit numbers used or reserved)

• Until SC 31 assigns “xx” format code for use of TEIs use interim DoD format code “DD” in ISO/IEC 15434 syntax
