Concept
NATO Codification System
Résumé
The NATO Codification System (NCS for short) is a Standardization Agreement approach to identify, classify, and number items of supply. This applies to repetitively used items and stocked (e.g., repair parts, equipment, food items, etc.). The System has been agreed upon by all signatories of the NATO and sponsored non-NATO nations for use in identifying equipment and supplies.
The result is a unique identification and a data set that can be easily shared and understood by a wide range of users. The data set may be shared in the form of printed catalogs, online systems, electronic data exchange, etc. Users include logisticians and manufacturers.
The process of codification (or cataloging) involves naming, classifying, describing the item, and assigning of a 13 digit NATO Stock Number (or NSN). The system aids logistics processes, to include supply, purchasing, maintenance, warehousing, transportation, planning, etc. Further, it allows different organizations, even countries, to cooperate in providing logistics support to military, disaster relief, peacekeeping, and similar operations.
Five NATO Standardisation Agreements (STANAGs) build the structural basis for the system:
STANAG 3150: Codification-Uniform System of Supply Classification
STANAG 3151: Codification-Uniform System of Item of Supply Identification
STANAG 4177: Codification-Uniform System of Data Acquisition
STANAG 4199: Codification-Uniform System of Exchange of Materiel Management Data
STANAG 4438: Codification-Uniform System of Dissemination of Data Associated with NATO Stock Numbers(NSN)
Unambiguous item identification in accordance with the STANAG 3151 standard.
This identification takes place utilizing a NATO Stock Number (NSN), which is composed of a 4-digit NATO Supply Classification Code, a 2-digit code for the National Codification Bureau (NCB) representing the country that codifies the item, and of a 7-digit non-significant number that is assigned by this NCB.
Uniform System of Supply Classification in accordance with STANAG 3150.
