Designation:E267209Standard Practice forIdentification and Categorization of Tooling1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E2672;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This practice describes the differentiation,identification,and categorization criteria for tooling,both unique and moregeneral in nature.The physical markings should allow for oneor more of the following to be ascertained:part number,serialnumber,ownership,revision,or symbology,or combinationthereof.1.2 Definitions for the unique subcategories that make upthe tooling family will be described.These subcategories helpto differentiate tooling categories for use in identification,control,and record keeping.1.3 This practice is intended to be applicable and appropri-ate for all entities that hold tooling regardless of ownership oracquisition methodology.This practice further provides thedetailed information to provide the flexibility of commonnomenclature,identification,and tracking of unique tooling.1.4 Items not covered but defined by this practice include,but are not limited to:consumable property,special testequipment(STE),plant equipment,general or special machin-ery equipment,and expendable tools.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2E2135 Terminology for Property and Asset ManagementE2279 Practice for Establishing the Guiding Principles ofProperty Management3.Terminology3.1 DefinitionsIn addition to the below definitions,alsoreference Terminology E2135.3.1.1 unique tooling,nitems that are custom made and areof such a specialized nature that without substantial modifica-tion or alteration their use is limited to the development orproduction of particular supplies/product or parts thereof,orperforming particular services;often are accountable andreportable property to a customer contract or would be capitalassets when company owned and over the established entitycapital threshold;also known as special tooling.3.1.2 Other tooling types:3.1.33.1.3.1 expendable(tools),nproperty that can be con-sumed or become scrap as a result of intended use like drillbits.3.1.3.2 hand tools,ntools that are smaller in size,com-mercial off-the-shelf products typically stored and controlledby the mechanic/technician that the individual deploys asnecessary,often without other administrative controls:hammers,screwdrivers,wrenches,planers,rake,shovels,andso forth;may be powered by hand,battery,electricity,etc.3.1.3.3 machined tools,nbrake dies,joggle dies,joggleblocks,etc.,which are usually considered part of or anaccessory of the actual machine and not special to one peculiarproduct.3.1.3.4 standard tooling,ncommercial off-the-shelf prod-ucts for use in the manufacturing process(for example,drills,reamers,power saws,riveting tools,etc.);tooling that is oftenpooled and issued as required for the manufacturing process.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 installation kit tools,ninstallation-type tools that areusually delivered with the product to the customer;typicallyconsidered issued material or components of the installationkit.3.2.2 manufacturing/shop aids,nan aid made for themanufacturing process that is used to assist in the drilling,layout,and positioning of a part(for example,shim,plate,etc.);items of benefit to the mechanic/technician that aretypically not called out in the manufacturing specifications.3.2.3 tool number,nprimary identifier/part number,whichoften matches the part number or product number for which itis used to make.1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E53 on AssetManagement and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee E53.01 on ProcessManagement.Current edition approved Dec.1,2009.Published March 2010.DOI:10.1520/E2672-09.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 3.2.4 tool serial,nnumerical unique identifier assigned inthe manufacturing process of the tool,which becomes amanufacturers serial number.3.2.5 tool series/multi,nnumerical series used to identifythe manufacturing batch or sequence from which this tool wasmade from;and multi represents the unique line number countof a tool made within a certain series.3.2.6 tool symbols,nalpha characters
