The United States Department of Defense's standard MIL-STD-130 encompasses specific standards mandated by the Department of Defense with regard to identifying, marking and maintaining accurate records of military property. All government contractors must comply with MIL-STD-130 regulations, which require that certain products be properly labeled with a Unique Identifier (IUID marking).
The IUID marking requirement stipulates that mandated items be labeled with a machine readable 2 dimensional data matrix bar code. Regardless of their composition, all items must meet specific printing and/or marking specifications. In addition, items subject to IUID marking must adhere to stringent specifications. Specifications require that all marking must be applied to either a stiff plastic or metal identification plate, and contain an identification tag, band or label. IUID marking must also be located where it is clearly visible and easily read, and markings must be permanent and impervious to normal environmental conditions.

IUID markings are composed of character strings, numbers, or sequential bits that are unique to the product being labeled. IUID marking regulations are rigorous, and must include details of the product’s geographic location, product size, serial number, agency code, a personal identification number and both contract and order numbers. Moreover, the specified data must be globally unique.
The IUID marking policy was established to improve asset management, lower the cost of item management, improve inventory management, improve item availability and provide the DoD with the ability to conduct concise audits. The standard is also used as a guide to ascertain governmental needs when designing specific contracts.
