ANSI Y32.16 ref designation marking requirement

ANSI Y32.16 ref designation marking requirement

ANSI Y32.16 ref designation marking requirement

(OP)
IEEE withdrew IEEE STD 200/ANSI Y32.16 covering formation and application of reference designations for electronic equipment, which applied to most military electronics. Did any document take its place as regards section 8 requiring marking of ref designations on equipment?    

RE: ANSI Y32.16 ref designation marking requirement

(OP)
ANSI Y32.16-1975 was specified in MIL-STD-454, MIL-STD-100, ANSI Y14.15, most ANSI drawing standards, and other standards used by DOD. DOD withdrew adoption of ANSI Y32.16 in 2002. The standard required a unique reference designation down to the part level and states: “The reference designations of this standard are for use on equipment and related diagrams, drawings, parts lists, and in manuals or similar publications.” Section 8 specified: “Equipment shall be permanently and legibly marked with the reference designations for each subassembly and part.” “Reference designations shall be located adjacent to each subassembly or part”. “Unit numbers shall be marked on the outside of units”. “If partial reference designations are marked within a unit, place a prominent note on the unit; Ref Des Prefix___”.  The standard is 28 pages long. Hope this helps.
