Significance and Use

There is no consistent method for the physical placement of an identifying label on equipment in the possession of an entity.

This practice is intended to expedite and improve the physical inventory and self-assessment processes and other occasions in which the instant identification of equipment is needed for purposes of control, management, or determining ownership, or a combination thereof.

The further intent of this practice is to reduce the administrative costs associated with activities requiring equipment identification, that is, physical inventory, self-assessments, and audits and to supplement Practice E 2279, Practice E 2452, and MIL STD 130.
