· Marked with a permanent legible means of identification;<br />
· Labels will be qualified to their intended storage environment and life;<br />
· Metal tags, bar codes or optical character recognition using laser etching will be used<br />
(consistent with the intended environment and lifetime);<br />
· Check digits will be used to validate package identifiers.
