It is important that wires involved in a large EWIS system be easily and uniformly identifiable by the manufacturer’s markings. This test entails a visual examination of the identification markings on a wire sample. The identification marking must include the following information in the correct order:
- Detail specification designator
- Wire gauge
- Color designator(s) of insulation (optional)
- Manufacturer CAGE code
- Appropriate revision letter of the detail specification
Further requirements are applied based on the method of identification printing.
