DAC 25-1710 (REV. 5-90)
DOUGLAS AIRCRAFT COMPANY CODE IDENT. NO. 88277
1. SCOPE
1.1 This Process Standard covers part and assembly identification and marking
requirements and methods.
1.2 The requirements of this DPS are intended for identification after completion
of all fabrication operations. Refer to applicable material specification (i.e. DMS,
MIL-Spec, AMS, etc.) for required identification markings of extrusions, forgings and
castings prior to final machining. Temporary identification by means of appropriate
tags is recommended when parts are separated from their planning paper, such as in
heat treating or chemical processing operations or when permanent markings are not
required.
1.2.1 Tags or ties of metal are required to be of a metal in the same electrochemical
group (see DPS 4.025) as the metal of which the parts are fabricated.
1.2.2 The requirements of this DPS are not intended to change normal Design
Engineering and Planning operating practices unless specifically stated herein. Refer
to the Boeing - Long Beach Division (LBD) Drafting Manual for aircraft design
configuration control.
1.2.3 DPS 3.02 will define the part and assembly identification methods unless a
specific alternate method of identification is specified on the LBD Engineering drawing.
1.3 The requirements of this DPS do not apply to the following:
1.3.1 Electrical Wiring (except assemblies);
Commercial aircraft - See DPS 1.834-23
Military aircraft - See DPS 3.231
1.3.2 Contract End Items (no next assembly drawing).
1.3.3 For government applications, refer to DPS 3.02-17.
1.3.4 For supplier packaging requirements, refer to DPS 3.301.
DPS 3.02
Rev. “BL”

MCDONNELL DOUGLAS CORPORATION - This information is subject
to data rights legends on title page or first page.
1.4 In addition to the requirements of this DPS, other DPSs specify identification
requirements, markings, and methods for the following:
Bolts, Nuts and Screws
Fluid (Plumbing) Lines
Heat Treatment
Inspection Operations
Nonproduction Parts
Rivets
Raw Stock Metals
Rubber Products
Titanium
Transparencies
Washers
Welding
Wiring Assemblies
Other specific materials, parts, or assemblies
1.5 Nameplate Substitution - Where Engineering drawings specify nameplates to be
fabricated by the Graphotype machine process, photoetched nameplates fabricated per
DPS 9.49 are acceptable.
1.6 Planning Assigned Identification Systems - Engineering assemblies, customer
configurated by detail Finish Specification, and Planning assemblies may be identified
with numerical and/or alphabetical systems that do not necessarily correlate to an
Engineering assembly drawing.
1.6.1 Planning Variation Number - A Planning synthetic number which may be
assigned to various types of assembly planning documents when an assembly is
structured for a particular combination of engineering configurations.
NOTE: Planning variation numbers are developed and assigned by Planning
and are not to be confused with an Engineering Variation Drawing number.
(Reference paragraph 4.1.1.2.6.)
1.7 Acceptance Stamps - Parts and assemblies require an acceptance stamp,
subject to appearance and size limitations of this DPS, when manufactured to a LBD
Engineering drawing or to a LBD Specification Control or Source Control drawing. The
acceptance stamp is not a requirement on the following unless specifically required by
the planning paper or purchase order.
(a) Parts or assemblies with a supplier identification plate or label.
(b) Supplier part numbered parts.
(c) Industry standard drawings parts (e.g., AN, NAS, MS).
(d) LBD Standards drawings parts. (If raw metal standards are reidentified,
refer to DPS 3.54)

1.8 Supplemental Identification - In addition to the requirements of this DPS, parts
and assemblies may require supplemental identification. Parts and assemblies
manufactured at the Long Beach Division must be identified with the supplemental
identification specified by that component of the Boeing Company for which parts are
manufactured. As an example, LBD Fabrication (C1) procedures now specify to place
Form No. 65-1307 on tagged parts which were dispositioned as “Use-as-is” or “Repair”.
1.9 Identification of Production Parts or Assemblies for Nonproduction Usage -
Conforming production parts or assemblies required for Engineering Lab test,
development, mockup, tooling or other nonproduction usage shall be identified as
follows:
1.9.1 Nonproduction usage which may not render a production part unfit for later
production usage shall be identified by stenciling the letters “XC-” , 0.25 inch high, or as
large as possible (whichever is less), as a prefix to the production part or assembly
number using red solvent removable coating (DPM 5404-9324). These parts, as
prefixed, are not to be used in flight.
EXAMPLES: XC-1234567-1
or
XC-ABC4567-1
Note: All parts shall be reviewed after usage by Engineering
to determine if nonproduction usage caused damage to the
part. If deemed acceptable, the prefix shall be removed.
1.9.2 Nonproduction usage of a nonproduction part shall be identified by stenciling
the letter “X-”, as a prefix to the nonproduction part or assembly number using red
nonremovable coating (DMS 2433) per DPS 3.027 (Identification, Nonproduction Parts)
to preclude the possibility of use as a production part or assembly. These parts are not
to be used for any production requirement or installed on any aircraft.
EXAMPLES: X-1234567-1
or
X-ABC4567-1
1.9.2.1 Per DPS 3.027, the words “Not for Production Use” shall be applied when
part size or configuration permits. A stripe shall be marked completely across the part
when part size or configuration does not permit application of the words.
1.10 Interim Part Numbers - The requirements for interim part number identification
are as defined in the Boeing - Long Beach Division Drafting Manual. Interim part
numbers and methods of identification are listed as follows:
1.10.1 Interim part number suffixes are: ”Engineering Development Unit” (EDU),
”Pre-Production Unit” (PPU), and ”Flight Test Unit” (FTU). The Long Beach Division
Drafting Manual defines the parameters for when to use these interim part number
suffixes.
DPS 3.02
Rev. “BL”
Page 4 of 25
MCDONNELL DOUGLAS CORPORATION - This information is subject
to data rights legends on title page or first page.
1.10.2 Interim part number suffixes are used on LRU components. An LRU is a
component which can be replaced by line personnel without any configuration
alterations (i.e., no drilling, reaming, cutting, filing, shimming, etc.). Examples of LRU’s
include, but are not limited to: Electronic boxes (with or without software), actuators,
valves, motors, sensors, switches, transducers, control panels, etc.
1.10.3 Interim parts and their special part number identification are not applicable to
parts that are primary structure (i.e., Principal Structural Elements (PSE’s), fuselage,
wing, empennage, pylon, landing gear, etc.) or secondary structure (i.e., interior, radio
racks, electrical power center, flight surfaces, cargo handling systems, doors, ducts,
etc.).
1.10.4 Use of interim part number suffixes must be approved on Vendor Information
Request (VIR) and authorizing Purchase Order (PO) or Purchase Order Change
Authorization (POCA). These suffixes are only required for parts being delivered to the
Long Beach Division. (LBD).
NOTE: These suffixes are a LBD interim identification only, controlled by a
LBD drawing and do not deviate or require a supplier drawing change.
1.10.4.1 Engineering Development Unit (EDU) - A blue identification label shall be
used.
1.10.4.2 Pre-Production Unit (PPU) - A yellow identification label shall be used.
1.10.4.3 Flight Test Unit (FTU) - A red identification label shall be used.
1.10.5 EDU, PPU and FTU interim-identified parts must be replaced with a
production part or be reidentified with a production part number prior to obtaining a
Certificate of Airworthiness.
NOTE: EDU’s can not be reidentified and must be replaced.
1.10.6 The method of identifying interim part number suffixes, unless otherwise
specified on a VIR (as referenced in paragraph 1.10.8 ”NOTE”), shall be as follows: A
temporary label shall be affixed over the production part number and shall completely
cover/obscure the part number.
1.10.7 The label will be of the appropriate background color, EDU - Blue,
PPU - Yellow and FTU - Red, with black lettering.
1.10.8 The temporary label material and method of attaching it shall be such that it
will remain firmly affixed throughout handling, installation and testing. Clear mylar tape,
such as DPM 895, may be placed over the label to enhance its fluid and abrasion
resistance.
NOTE: Special ID instructions may be required due to environmental
exposure of the part (i.e., heat, oil, water, rubber and movable parts.). These
instructions shall be documented and approved on the VIR.

1.10.10 When a supplier end item deliverable part, subassembly, assembly
(Engineering or Planning) that contains a detail with an interim part number suffix, the
end item delivered to LBD must be identified with ”IP (Interim Part) and Planning
Designated number” as call for on the Planning Form 33-68, PO or POCA.
NOTE: When interim parts are shipped in a kit, the kit number must also carry
the ”IP and Planning Designated number” identification.
Example: Part ––––––––––– Sub Assembly –––––––––––– Assembly ––––––––––––––– Kit
XXXX-1 ”FTU” XXX-501 ”IP3” XXXX-901 ”IP3” XXXX-903 ”IP3”

1.10.11 Removal or Reidentification - Detail parts identified with an interim part
number suffix will be removed or reidentified with the release of a ”Production Assist”
drawing along with released planning AAO instructions for LBD in house parts and VIR,
PO, RPO or POCA at the supplier (when applicable).
1.10.12 Testing of Parts (Interim, Production and Nonproduction) at Supplier’s
Facility or Subtier
1.10.12.1 Supplier must identify any part that is used for test with a unique
identification as to not allow them to be commingled with other production parts.
NOTE: These parts do not require the use of LBD prefixes or suffixes if they
are not being delivered to LBD.
1.10.12.2 The supplier must have a documented process for the handling and use
of this unique identification.

4. REQUIREMENTS
4.1 Parts and Assemblies - All parts, subassemblies and assemblies as specified
on the purchase order or Long Beach Division inplant build paper shall be identified by
methods specified herein and as follows:
4.1.1 Part Identification (see definition in paragraph 1.10) - The part number and
the change letter of the latest EO affecting the part, or (N/C) where no change letter
exists, shall be applied. The change letter shall be separated from the part number by a
minimum distance of two times the distance between the spacing in the part number.
NOTES: (1) If the assembly EO does not affect the part, no revision letter
change is to be made.
(2) Parts identified as “NC” change will be considered equivalent to
“N/C” unless otherwise proved by an Engineering Order. The
designation of N/C for drawings with no change letter was
established in Revision “BH’ change of this DPS in March of
1999. If in doubt as to what the most recent letter change is,
contact M&PE.
EXCEPTIONS: Identification is not required for:
(1) Details of a weld assembly that cannot be removed from the completed
assembly. The weld assembly is considered to be one part.
(2) Bulk materials cut to fit at time of assembly (make and use) and not
normally replaceable after installation in the assembly.
(3) Parts and inseparable assemblies (including make and use) after
installation in an assembly not normally subject to disassembly or repair.

4.17.1 Code Letter “N” - The letter “N” appearing immediately after the last digit of a
part number signifies that the part is ordered, manufactured, and sold in a “Noted”
condition representing a variation from drawing requirements until all current supply is
exhausted. Future deviations from drawing requirements for undrilled parts (a part with
pilot holes omitted at the attaching fastener locations) will be identified as follows:
EXAMPLE:
Production Part
to be Replaced
Former ”Noted” Spare
Part to be Replaced
Spare Part Identical to
Production or ”Noted” Part
except without Pilot Holes
ARB7732-115 ARB7732-115N ARB7732U115
5912188-41 5912188-41N 5912188U41
9954664-12 9954664-12N 9954664U12
NOTE: Spare and retrofit parts designed and manufactured by Boeing without pilot
holes will be identified by use of a (U) in place of the dash (-) in the dash number
portion of a Boeing production part number. ”U” designates an undrilled spare part
(a part with pilot holes omitted at the attaching fastener locations). Other deviations
from drawing requirements [the addition of ”trim on assembly” (TOA) material, inclusion
of bag and tie items, etc.] will also be supplied until current supply is exhausted. Future
procurement of parts requiring a deviation (other than undrilled parts) from the
Engineering drawing will be covered under a new drawing number
(SK or SS ref: Drafting Manual Section F, Page F-5.4), which will eliminate the need for
parts identified as ”noted condition” parts.
4.17.2 Code Letters “SP” - The code letters “SP” appearing immediately after the
last digit of a part number shall signify a customer’s specification item which includes
detail finish specification requirements on materials, finishes, colors, etc.
4.18 Identification by the ink stamping method per DPS 3.27-1 is prohibited on:
4.18.1 Surfaces of parts and assemblies that, in service, will be in direct contact
with liquid or gaseous oxygen.
4.18.2 Surfaces subject to high temperatures which would destroy ink marks where
permanent markings are required.
4.18.3 Surfaces subject to contact with fluids which would dissolve or otherwise
destroy ink marks where permanent markings are required.
4.18.4 Surfaces which would be damaged by the ink or surfaces to which ink will
not adhere.
4.18.5 Surfaces of castings, forgings, or composite parts, where the surface
roughness would impair the legibility.
