MIL STD 129

MIL STD 129

MIL-STD-129 standard is used for maintaining uniformity while marking military equipment and supplies that are transported through ships. This standard has been approved to be used by the Department of Defence and all other government agencies. Items must be marked for easy identification before they are transported. The marking helps the military personnel to fill the necessary requisition, when a particular stock goes short of the balance level.

Shipping containers carrying military items can be categorized into 3 types namely Unit Containers, Intermediate Containers and Exterior Containers as per the requirement standard of MIL-STD-129. However, for all type of containers the basic format such as National Stock Number (NSN), item description and part number are mandatory. For Exterior containers certain additional labels like Military Shipment Level (MSL), serial number barcode and Direct-Vendor Delivery level (DVD) are required.

Appendage to MIL STD 129

A new standard, known as MIL-STD-129P (4) was generated after changes were made to the old MIL-STD-129P (3) on 19th September 2007. There is amendment for exterior containers in this new MIL-STD-129P (4) standard. Now onwards along with the earlier NSN, Contract and CAGE, two new bar codes namely The Contract Line Item (CLIN) and Shipment Numbers (SN) are mandatory for exterior containers.

Per the new standard:

* Serial numbers are assigned in "SER NO" format.
*On each item, an additional 2 dimensional serial number symbol representing the bar code symbol is mandated to be appeared along with the linear serial number.
*Contract No should be included as a four digit number.
*The description of items should be exactly as per the contract.
*There should be spaces or dashes in NSN.
