Abstract: Item Unique IDentification (IUID) is an asset identification system, instituted by DoD, and consisting of a common marking standard and a set of business rules for identifying serially managed and items of supply. Once an item is assigned a Unique Item Identifier (UII) it is never changed even if the item is modified or re-engineered. UII assignment ensures global uniqueness and is physically marked on assets using a two-dimensional (2D) Data Matrix symbol with the data formatted in accordance with specified standards. Implementation of an IUID system within the calibration laboratory will provide an unambiguous method for managing test and monitoring equipment from initial induction to disposal. This will improve the accuracy of data and enhance inventory and process control for calibration assets.
