NATO codification
Qualified advice, management and support: throughout the supply chain
What we can do
NATO codification consists of assigning a unique code (NSN) to all components or spare parts for military products and systems sold in NATO member and partner countries.
As part of the North Atlantic Treaty, all materials for military use must be entered in specific databases. The NATO Codification system is strictly governed by international regulations and the procedure can be long and complex: our specialist team of professionals is trained to simplify the process and support you at every stage.
The advantages
- management and monitoring of the entire NSN assignment process
- highly qualified and specialised staff
- support and advice to ensure that deadlines are met and penalties are not applied
- checking compliance of customer’s material with the contractual specifications in force
- screening and verification of articles already in the NATO archive, with a request for addition where necessary
- speeding up assignment procedures, thanks to direct access to the NATO Support and Procurement Agency NMCRL-web database
- monitoring and rapid update of databases
- possibility of supplying labels with barcodes compliant with the EAN 128 standard
- direct notification of the NSN code to the Military Logistics Body
