Revisions of MIL-STD-130
The latest revision of MIL-STD-130 (as of April 2013) is revision N.
MIL-STD-130N standard, which is made up of numerous other governmental and non-governmental specifications, standards, publications, and handbooks, is meant to be used as a guide in which to determine and impose the minimum needs of the government when designing a specific contract. If there any conflicts between the MIL-STD-130N and one of the reference documents that are cited in the MIL-STD-130N, this standard always takes precedence. For a comprehensive list of these documents, please refer to Section 2 of the MIL-STD-130N.
However, there are many items that are excluded from this list, as they are either covered in other documentation, not subject to IUID (Item Unique Identification) marking, or they already carry an IUID Equivalent marking; such as the Vehicle Identification Number on a car or an Electronic Serial Number of a cell phone. Refer to Section 1.3 of the MIL-STD-130N for a complete list of these items.

Famous quotes containing the word revisions:
“The lore of our fathers is a fabric of sentences. In our hands it develops and changes, through more or less arbitrary and deliberate revisions and additions of our own, more or less directly occasioned by the continuing stimulation of our sense organs. It is a pale gray lore, black with fact and white with convention. But I have found no substantial reasons for concluding that there are any quite black threads in it, or any white ones.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
