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:
“In those days a decree went out from Emperor Augustus that all the world should be registered.”
—Bible: New Testament, Luke 2:1.
“Though of erect nature, man is far above the plants. For man’s superior part, his head, is turned toward the superior part of the world, and his inferior part is turned toward the inferior world; and therefore he is perfectly disposed as to the general situation of his body. Plants have the superior part turned towards the lower world, since their roots correspond to the mouth, and their inferior parts towards the upper world.”
—Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–1274)
