The system of Unique Identification, or UID , is laid down by the MIL-STD-130N. The MIL-STD-130N is a collection of requirements that the Department of Defense set up in order to keep track of individual military products and possessions. It explains how individual products should be labeled so that they are not confused with one another. Anything that is made, stocked, stored, or issued either by or for the Department of Defense needs to be UID compliant.
The MIL-STD-130N is also used when the government makes a contract with an outside organization. It explains the minimum requirements that the Department of Defense expects to be met. There are some products that are excluded from the MIL-STD-130N because they already have a different kind of Jet City Laser system in place. Examples include Vehicle Identification Numbers for cars and Electronic Serial Numbers for cell phones.
