It is a performance standard that explains the acceptable physical traits of identification devices such as plates, tags, and bands used to identify equipment.
What types of ID devices does MIL-DTL-15024F cover?
The plates, tags, and bands are intended to identify electrical, electronic, or mechanical equipment. Also, when required for the installation, use, operation, or maintenance of equipment items.
ID devices are to be made of materials that cannot be altered by fungus and can withstand the environmental and cleaning conditions associated to the part in which it’s attached.
Recycled, recovered, or environmentally-friendly materials may be used as long as they meet or exceed operational and maintenance requirements.
The following are considered major defects of UIDs and associated materials:
Samples of any type can be selected and subjected to applicable tests. A marked item is considered a unit of product. If any sample fails a test, the lot from which the sample was taken shall be rejected.
A deterioration test looks for evidence of flaking, peeling, dissolving, distorting, softening, the presence of oxidation, discoloration, or visible presence of fungus. Presence of any of the described constitutes a failure to meet standards. A slight discoloration or fading is permissible if it does not influence the legibility of the UID.
