This document, "CAD/PAD Item Marking Instruction, Version 1.6," dated 06 March 2023, provides detailed instructions for marking Cartridge Actuated Devices and Propellant Actuated Devices (CAD/PAD) components. It outlines the requirements for both Human Readable Information (HRI) and Machine Readable Information (MRI) markings, specifically focusing on the implementation of Item Unique Identifiers (IUID) as mandated by DoD policy.

• Scope: Applicable to both new production and remanufacture of CAD/PAD components.
• Marking Requirements: Mandates the use of Data Matrix ECC 200 for MRI markings, adhering to MIL-STD-130 and the DoD UID Guide.
• HRI Data: Includes Item Nomenclature, Manufacturer's CAGE, Item Lot Number, Item Serial Number, and Manufacturer's Part Number. Optional markings like DOM (Date of Manufacture) are also detailed.
• MRI Data Construct: Specifies the Data Matrix ECC 200 format, including Data Identifiers for CAGE, Part Number, Serial Number, Lot Number, and Date of Manufacture (in Julian Date format).
• Placement: Details methods for marking items via data plates/labels, ink/laser etching, or self-adhesive labels for small items.
• Kit Marking: Outlines requirements for marking kits and ship-sets, including individual components within them.
