i This Part of the Defence Standard specifies the requirements for the marking of packagedmateriel for the Ministry of Defence. It has been prepared by the Defence Evaluation andResearch Agency/Electronics Sector/Defence Packaging Authority on behalf of the DefencePackaging Technical Committee (DPTC).

ii Def Stan 81-41 is in six Parts. More than one Part may apply to any one packagingrequirement; it is essential that all Parts be considered and used where appropriate.

iii This Part of the Standard has been agreed by the authorities concerned with its use and isintended to be used whenever relevant in all future designs, contracts, orders etc andwhenever practicable by amendment to those already in existence. If any difficulty ariseswhich prevents application of the Defence Standard, the Directorate of Standardization shallbe informed so that a remedy may be sought.

iv Any enquiries regarding this Part of the Standard in relation to an invitation to tender or acontract in which it is incorporated are to be addressed to the responsible technical orsupervising authority named in the invitation to tender or contract.

v This Standard has been devised for the use of the Crown and its contractors in theexecution of contracts for the Crown. The Crown hereby excludes all liability (other thanliability for death or personal injury) whatsoever and howsoever arising (including, butwithout limitation, negligence on the part of the Crown its servants or agents) for any loss ordamage however caused where the Standard is used for any other purpose.

1 Scope

1.1 This Part of the Defence Standard relates to the Ministry of Defence requirements for themarking of packaged materiel.

1.2 It does not apply where approved design or standardization documents for the marking ofpackages for specific materiel decree otherwise e.g. the marking of packages for ammunitionand explosives which is governed by Def Stan 08-10.

2 WARNING

This Standard calls for the use of substances and/or procedures that may be injurious to healthif adequate precautions are not taken. It refers only to the technical suitability and in no wayabsolves either the designer, the producer, the supplier or the user from statutory and all otherlegal obligations relating to health and safety at any stage of manufacture or use.

4 Definitions

4.1 Point size. The height of a font's characters. One point is approximately 0.35 mm. Thedefinition of "point size" was originally from the printing industry and in imperial units hencethe non-integer values in SI units.

NOTE: Character size is also often noted in terms of "pitch". This is the number ofcharacters per unit length of text, e.g. characters per centimetre (cpcm), 10 point isapproximately 4.7 cpcm.

4.2 Dots per centimetre (dpcm). A computer printer's resolution, e.g., a standard resolutionfor a laser printer is 118 dpcm, often quoted in two dimensions i.e. 118 x 118 dpcm.

4.3 Dangerous goods. Any substance or item that is listed in any of the national orinternational carriage, or supply of dangerous goods regulations or could meet any of theirclassifications criteria.

4.4 Bar code. For this or any variable relating to bar codes, see STANAG 4329.

4.5 Picket Fence and Ladder. These bar code terms refer to the code orientation with respectto a label and / or reader. A Picket Fence bar code is horizontally orientated, (where thebars are vertical) as opposed to a Ladder bar code which is vertically orientated (where barsare horizontal).

5.2.3 When it is not possible to make up a complete package, the identification particularsshall be amended by striking out the existing quantity figure on the label and the actualquantity marked alongside. To signify this action an indelible blue cross shall be markeddiagonally over the identification markings prior to any protective treatment being applied.

5.3 Specialized marking and labelling . There are standards covering materials and products,which have additional labelling or marking requirements to that specified in this standard.For example, BS 3574 specifies the controlled storage and packaging of vulcanized rubberproducts and requires the rubber classification to be included in the marking. Where there aresuch requirements they shall be included in addition to those in this standard unless otherwisespecified.
