What is BS EN 9132 - Data Matrix Quality requirements for parts marking about?
Data Matrix codes are systematic codes which are used to associated each part of an aircraft as a unique product. BS EN 9132 defines uniform quality, and technical requirements relative to metallic parts marking performed using “data matrix symbology” within the aviation, space, and defence industry. ISO/IEC 16022 specifies general requirements (e. g., data character encodation, error correction rules, decoding algorithm).
In addition to ISO/IEC 16022 specification, part identification with such symbology is subject to the requirements in this standard to ensure electronic reading of the symbol.
