A World Parts Manufacturer Identifier (WPMI) code is a code used to uniquely identify manufacturers of vehicle parts in the global automotive industry. It is defined by ISO 4100.
It is the parts manufacturer analogue to VIN's World Manufacturer Identifier. Unlike VIN numbers however, WPMI codes aren't intended to uniquely identify each part, merely to identify the manufacturer.
Famous quotes containing the words world and/or parts:
“The whole world is an omen and a sign. Why look so wistfully in a corner? Man is the Image of God. Why run after a ghost or a dream? The voice of divination resounds everywhere and runs to waste unheard, unregarded, as the mountains echo with the bleatings of cattle.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Yea, worse than death: death parts both woe and joy:
From joy I part, still living in annoy.”
—Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
