5. DETAILED REQUIREMENTS
5.1 Physical characteristics marking. Physical characteristics marking shall be as specified in the acquisition document. When color coding is required to identify "numbered" terminals, the colors shall conform to color subcolumn of table II. When the electrical insulation of terminal leads is color coded to identify "numbered" terminals, the colors shall be in accordance with MIL-STD-104.
5.2 Typographical marking (method I). When method I marking is specified in the acquisition document, the general and detailed requirements shall be as specified herein.
5.2.1 Identifying number. The identifying number shall be as specified in the acquisition document. The identifying number may be a part number as specified in DoD specification and ASME Y14.100, a type number (such as 1N2100W or F-1A), or a type designation (such as RNR50C1050FM), or a number identifying a definitive acquisition document which specifies the requirements for the part and the applicable CAGE codes of the manufacturer and design activity. All parts may be marked with a logo, in lieu of the CAGE code, if the product specification or contract so determines they are too small to be marked with a CAGE code.
5.2.2 Design activity code. The design activity CAGE code is part of the item identification number and where the manufacturer is not the design activity, both CAGE codes are required on the item except for DoD specification or approved standards parts (see 6.4). If the CAGE code and the part number are applied on one line, a dash or
virgule shall separate the number from the code.
5.2.3 "JAN" and "J" marking. The "JAN" and "J" shall be applied only to parts when authorized by a DoD
specification.
5.2.3.1 "JAN" and "J" marking (for DoD specifications only). The United States Government has adopted, and is exercising legitimate control over the certification marks "JAN" and "J", respectively, to indicate that items so marked or identified are manufactured to, and meet all the requirements of specifications. Accordingly, items acquired to, and meeting all of the criteria specified herein and in applicable specifications shall bear the certification mark "JAN" except that items too small to bear the certification mark "JAN" shall bear the letter "J". The "JAN" or "J" shall be placed immediately before the part number except that if such location would place a hardship on the manufacturer in connection with such marking, the "JAN" or "J" may be located on the first line above or below the part number. Items furnished under contracts or orders which either permit or require deviation from the conditions or requirements specified herein or in applicable specification shall not bear "JAN" or "J". In the event an item fails to meet the requirements of this specification and the applicable specification sheets or associated specification, the manufacturer shall remove completely the military part number and the "JAN" or the "J" from the sample tested and also from all items represented by the sample. The "JAN" or "J" certification mark shall not be used on products acquired to contractor drawing or specifications. The United States Government has obtained Certificate of
Registration Number 504,860 for the certification mark "JAN" and Registration Number 1,586,261 for the certification mark "J".
5.2.4 Source code. The source code shall identify the manufacturer's plant where the specified conformance inspection is performed, or where design and verification responsibility and control is exercised, and shall be the five- digit alpha numeric number assigned in accordance with Cataloging Handbook H4/H8.
