ASTM E2631-09(2015)
(Practice)Standard Practice for Physical Placement of an Entity-Controlled Supplemental Identification Label
Standard Practice for Physical Placement of an Entity-Controlled Supplemental Identification Label
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 There is no consistent method for the physical placement of an identifying label on equipment in the possession of an entity.
5.2 This practice is intended to expedite and improve the physical inventory and self-assessment processes and other occasions in which the instant identification of equipment is needed for purposes of control, management, or determining ownership, or a combination thereof.
5.3 The further intent of this practice is to reduce the administrative costs associated with activities requiring equipment identification, that is, physical inventory, self-assessments, and audits and to supplement Practice E2279, Practice E2452, and MIL STD 130.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice is for supplemental identification labels assigned by an entity and affixed to equipment to permit control.
1.2 Identifying labels include, but are not limited to, removable tags, bands, and plates.
1.3 This practice is not intended for material or manufacturer’s warranties.
1.4 This practice is not intended for original equipment manufacturer’s (OEM’s) markings.
1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

6. Procedure
6.1 When space allows, the label shall be physically placed on the equipment item so that it directly faces the user. The label
shall be consistently placed, that is, placed in the same location or approximate location, does not overlay the OEM marking, and
can be conveniently read. The placement and reading of the tag should not require movement or the property nor disrupt any
processing that it supports. (See Fig. 1.)
6.2 When space is insufficient, the label shall be physically placed on the front right side of the equip
