Icentification shall be maintained on the material, part, or comoonent to the greatest extent pcssible. When this is not possible the material shall be segregated from all other materials, and precedures shall be estaolisned to centrol that material.

Icentificatien (when'not cn the item) shall be included in records traceacle to tne item. All icentificaticn snall be traceacle to an applicaole.orawing, specification, purcnase orcer, or other pertinant technical document.

8.2 Icentification Recuirements 8.2.1 Identification shall incluce jcb numcer, equipment nuccer an'c/or heat numcer as applicaole.

Identification shall' be permanant and legible, and shall not interfere with faoricaticn cr function.

Identification shall be properly transferred to each part of an item unen subdivided ano shall not be obliteratec or nidcen by surface treatment or coatings unless otner methods of identification are suotituted.

8.2.2 When material traceability is required by code, standard, specification, or the material is important to safety related systems, the material identification shall be' traceable to the apprcpriate dccuaentatico sucn as the purenase ccntract, drawings, l
