4、gyfor encoding certain characteristics of components that have been established based on consensus recommendations from therespective stakeholder group members. The means of marking or affixing the code to the components, and the means of readingand/or transferring the data or codes are outside the
5、scope of this specification.NOTE 1To facilitate compliance with this specification, a web based application has been developed to manage and maintain unique manufactureridentification numbers. The URL for the website is: http:/ponentid.org.NOTE 2Meters and regulators are excluded from this specifica
