die-stamped.

Stencil marking shall use a water-insoluble ink that does not contain substances which could harmfully affect the
material (such as metallic pigments, sulfur, zinc, sulfides, chlorides or inorganic halogens).
Hard-die stamping shall be with round-nosed, low-stress die.
Casting shall have the charge or heat number cast in the material. The other required markings also to be cast-
in, in an order of preference.
In case it is physically impossible to apply the required marking (e.g. small size) it would be acceptable to apply
the marking on a durable, securely affixed metal tag or to codify the marking.

6.3 Colour Coding for Piping Bulk Materials

and schedule/ rating after assembly, at the time of final inspection at Vendor’s shop before shipping.
The vendor shall maintain an identification procedure of all materials, parts and components, including partially
fabricated assemblies. The location and method of identification shall not affect the function or quality of the item
being identified. The procedure shall require that verification of correct identification of materials, parts and
components be made and documented prior to release for fabrication, assembly, shipping or installation.
