24.07.2019

(TS)

Marking Vehicle (TC) is divided into main and additional. The main marking of the vehicle and their constituent parts is mandatory and carried out by their manufacturers. In the case of the manufacture of a vehicle by several enterprises in series, it is permissible to apply the main marking of the vehicle only by the manufacturer of the final product. Additional vehicle marking is recommended and is carried out by both vehicle manufacturers and specialized enterprises. The main marking is carried out on the following products:

trucks, including specialized and special ones on their chassis, tractors with an onboard platform, as well as multi-purpose vehicles and special wheeled chassis; cars, including specialized and special on their basis, cargo-passenger;
buses, including specialized and special buses based on them;
trolleybuses;
trailers and semi-trailers;
forklifts;
engines internal combustion;
motor vehicles;
truck chassis;
cabs of trucks;
car bodies;
blocks of internal combustion engines.

Content and place of the main marking

In addition to the fact that the vehicle, chassis and engines must have trademark in accordance with GOST 26828, and products subject to mandatory certification must have a conformity mark in accordance with GOST R 50460, a special marking of the vehicle and its components is carried out.

Vehicle marking

A. Directly on the product (non-removable part), in places least susceptible to destruction in a traffic accident, the vehicle identification number - VIN must be applied. One of the selected locations must be right side(in the direction of the vehicle).
VIN is applied:

on the body passenger car- in two places, in the front and back parts;
on the back of the bus - in two different places;
on the body of a trolley bus - in one place;
on the cockpit truck and forklift - in one place;
on the frame of a trailer, semi-trailer and motor vehicle - in one place;
on off-road vehicles, trolleybuses and forklifts, VIN may be indicated on a separate plate.

B. The vehicle, as a rule, should have a plate, located at the front if possible, containing the following data:

index (model, modification, version) of the engine (with a working volume of 125 cm3 or more);
admissible gross weight;
permissible total mass of the road train (for tractors);
permissible weight per axle/bogie axles, starting from the front axle;
permissible weight per fifth wheel coupling.

Vehicle identification number (VIN) - a combination of numbers and letters symbols, assigned for identification purposes, is a mandatory element of marking and is individual for each vehicle for 30 years.

The VIN has the following structure: WMI VDS VIS

First part of VIN (first three characters)- international identification code manufacturer (WMI), allows you to identify the manufacturer of the vehicle and consists of three letters or letters and numbers.

In accordance with ISO 3780, the letters and numbers used in the first two characters of WMI are assigned to the country and controlled by an international agency - the Society automotive engineers(SAE) under the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The distribution of the first two characters characterizing the zone and country of origin, according to SAE, is given in Appendix 1.

The first character (geographical area code) is a letter or number that represents a particular geographic area.
For example:
from 1 to 5 - North America;
from S to Z - Europe;
A to H - Africa;
from J to R - Asia;
6.7 - Countries of Oceania;
8,9,0 - South America.

The second character (country code) is a letter or number that identifies a country in a specific geographic area. More than one character may be used to indicate a country, if necessary. Only the combination of the first and second characters guarantees the unambiguous identification of the country. For example:
10 to 19 - USA;
1A to 1Z - USA;
2A to 2W - Canada;
from ZA to ZW - Mexico;
from W0 to W9 - Germany, Federal Republic;
from WA to WZ - Germany, Federal Republic.

The third character is a letter or number that is assigned to the manufacturer by the National Authority. In Russia, such an organization is the Central Research Automobile and automotive institute(NAMI), located at the address: Russia, 125438, Moscow, st. Avtomotornaya, house 2, which assigns WMI as a whole. Only the combination of the first, second and third characters provides an unambiguous identification of the vehicle manufacturer - the International Manufacturer Identity (WMI). The number 9 as the third character is used by National Organizations when it is necessary to characterize a manufacturer that produces less than 500 cars per year.

Second part of the VIN- the descriptive part of the identification number (VDS) consists of six characters (if the vehicle index consists of less than six characters, then zeros are put in the empty places of the last characters of the VDS (on the right)), indicating, as a rule, the model and modification of the vehicle, according to the design documentation (KD).

Third part of VIN- indicative part of the identification number (VIS) - consists of eight characters (numbers and letters), of which the last four characters must be digits. The first character VIS indicates the code of the year of manufacture of the vehicle (see Appendix 3), the subsequent characters indicate the serial number of the vehicle assigned by the manufacturer.

Several WMIs can be assigned to a manufacturer, but the same number cannot be assigned to another vehicle manufacturer for at least 30 years from the moment it was first used by the previous (first) manufacturer.

Marking of vehicle components

Internal combustion engines, as well as the chassis and cabins of trucks, car bodies and engine blocks must be marked with an identification number of the component (CH).

The identification number of the MF consists of two structural parts, the number of characters and the rules for the formation of which are similar to VDS and VIS VIN.

The identification number of the SC on the chassis frame and the cab of the truck should be applied, if possible, in the front part, on the right side, in one place, allowing it to be seen from outside the vehicle.

Engines are marked on the engine block in one place.

Engine blocks are marked in one place, while the first part of the SC identification number, similar to VDS, may not be indicated.

Content and place additional marking

Additional marking of the vehicle provides for the application of the VDS and VIS identification number of the vehicle, visible and invisible to the eye (visible and invisible marking).

Visible marking is applied to the outer surface, as a rule, of the following components of the vehicle:

windshield glass - on the right side, along the upper edge of the glass, at a distance of about 20 mm from the seal;
rear window glass - on the left side, along the lower edge of the glass, at a distance of about 20 mm from the seal;
side window glass (movable) - in the rear part, along the lower edge of the glass, at a distance of about 20 mm from the seal;
headlights and rear lights- on the glass (or rim), along the lower edge, near the sidewalls of the body (cab).

Invisible marking is applied, as a rule, on:

roof upholstery - in the central part, at a distance of about 20 mm from the windshield glass seal;
upholstery of the back of the driver's seat - on the left (in the direction of the vehicle) side surface, in the middle part, along the back frame;
the surface of the turn signal switch housing along the axis of the steering column.

Technical requirements to labeling

The method of performing the main and additional visible markings must ensure the clarity of the image and its safety throughout the entire period of operation of the vehicle in the conditions and modes established in the design documentation.

The identification numbers of the vehicle and the midrange should use the letters of the Latin alphabet (except for I, O and Q) and Arabic numerals.

The font of letters the enterprise selects from the types of fonts established in normative documents, taking into account the accepted technological process.

The font of the numbers should exclude the possibility of deliberate replacement of one number with another.

The identification numbers of the vehicle and the midrange, as well as signs of additional marking, must be displayed in one or two lines.

When displaying an identification number in two lines, none of its components is allowed to be divided by a hyphen. At the beginning and end of the line (lines) there must be a sign (symbol, plate bounding box, etc.), which is chosen by the enterprise and must differ from the numbers and letters of the marking. The selected sign is described in the technical documentation.

There should be no spaces between characters and lines of the identification number. It is allowed to separate the constituent parts of the identification number by the selected character. Note. When citing an identification number in text documents, the selected character may not be affixed.

When performing the main marking, the height of letters and numbers must be at least:

a) in the identification numbers of the vehicle and SC:
7 mm - when applied directly to the vehicle and their components, while 5 mm is allowed - for engines and their blocks;
4 mm - when applied directly to motor vehicles;
4 mm - when applied to plates;

b) in the rest of the marking data - 2.5 mm.

The identification number of the main marking should be applied to surfaces that have traces of machining provided for technological process. The plates must comply with the requirements of GOST 12969, GOST 12970, GOST 12971 and be attached to the product using, as a rule, a permanent connection.

Additional invisible marking is carried out using a special technology and becomes visible in the light of ultraviolet rays. When marking is performed, the structure of the material on which it is applied should not be violated.

It is not allowed to destroy and (or) change the marking during the repair of the vehicle and its components. Methods for applying marking are not specified by the standards and can be either manual or mechanized.

With the manual method of marking with a hammer blow on the brand, an indented image of a number, letter, asterisk or other sign is obtained on a panel or site. In this case, the order of applying signs is chosen by the worker. As a result of manual stuffing, signs are shifted horizontally and vertically, there is a deviation of the vertical axes, a template can be used to eliminate this. In this case, the depth of the marking digits is not the same.

Mechanized marking is carried out in two ways: impact and knurling. Both methods have their own characteristics. So, in a microscopic examination of the marking made by rolling, traces of the entrance of the working part of the stamp from one side and its exit from the other side of the sign are visible. With the impact method, the working part of the brand moves strictly vertically.

Quite often, with the mechanized method of marking, especially on aluminum blocks, there is a "underfill", as a result of which the marking marks are too small or barely noticeable. In such cases, manual finishing or repeated mechanized finishing is performed. With manual finishing, accompanying signs appear. With repeated mechanized application, double outlines with the same character shift can be seen.

With the combined method of marking, part of the signs is applied mechanized, and the rest are achieved manually. This option is characterized by features of both methods.

Additional marking is applied, as a rule, by sandblasting or milling car parts made of glass, or by applying special markings containing phosphors to the interior elements of the car. In the first case, the marking is observed visually without the help of special devices, in the second case, the use of an ultraviolet lamp is required to detect it.

Marking of vehicles (TC) is divided into the main and additional. The main marking of the vehicle and their components is mandatory and carried out their manufacturers. In the case of the manufacture of a vehicle by several enterprises in series, it is permissible to apply the main marking of the vehicle only by the manufacturer of the final product. Additional vehicle marking is recommended and carried out both vehicle manufacturers and and specialized enterprises. The main marking is carried out on the following products:

trucks, including specialized and special ones on their chassis, tractors with an onboard platform, as well as multi-purpose vehicles and special wheeled chassis;
cars, including specialized and special on their basis, cargo-passenger;
buses, including specialized and special buses based on them;
trolleybuses;
trailers and semi-trailers;
forklifts;
internal combustion engines;
motor vehicles;
truck chassis;
cabs of trucks;
car bodies;
blocks of internal combustion engines.

allowable weight attributable to for fifth wheel device.

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) - a combination of digital and alphabetic symbols assigned for identification purposes, is a mandatory element of marking and is individual for each vehicle for 30 years.

The VIN has the following structure: WMI VDS VIS

The first part of the VIN (the first three characters) is the international manufacturer identification code (WMI), which allows you to identify the manufacturer of the vehicle and consists of three letters or letters and numbers.

In accordance with ISO 3780, the letters and numbers used in the first two characters of WMI are assigned to the country and controlled by an international agency - the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), operating under the guidance of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Distribution of the first two characters characterizing the zone and country of origin according to SAE, see appendix 1.

The first character (geographical area code) is a letter or number that represents a particular geographic area.
For example:
1 to 5 - North America;
from S to Z - Europe;
A to H - Africa;
from J to R - Asia;
6.7 - Countries of Oceania;
8,9,0 - South America.

The third character is a letter or number that is assigned to the manufacturer by the National Authority. In Russia, such an organization is the Central Research Automobile and Automotive Institute (NAMI), located at the address: Russia, 125438, Moscow, st. Automotive, house 2, which assigns WMI as a whole. Only the combination of the first, second and third characters provides an unambiguous identification of the vehicle manufacturer - the International Manufacturer Identity (WMI). The number 9 as the third character is used by National Organizations when it is necessary to characterize a manufacturer that produces less than 500 cars per year. International Manufacturer Codes (WMI) are listed in Annex 2.

The second part of the VIN - the descriptive part of the identification number (VDS) consists of six characters (if the vehicle index consists of less than six characters, then to blank the places of the last signs of VDS (on the right) are zeros), indicating, as a rule, the model and modification of the vehicle, according to the design documentation (CD).

The third part of the VIN - the indicative part of the identification number (VIS) - consists of eight characters (numbers and letters), of which the last four characters must be digits. The first character VIS indicates the code of the year of manufacture of the vehicle (see Appendix 3), the subsequent characters indicate the serial number of the vehicle assigned by the manufacturer.

Appendix N 3. CLASSIFICATION AND DESIGNATION SYSTEM OF AUTOMOBILE VEHICLES

Automobile vehicles (ATS) are divided into passenger, cargo and special.

Passenger transport includes cars and buses. To cargo - cargo flatbed vehicles, vans, dump trucks, tractors, trailers and semi-trailers, including specialized vehicles designed to transport a specific type of special cargo. Special vehicles include rolling stock equipped and designed to perform special, mainly non-transport work, not related to the transportation of general goods (including firefighters, utilities, workshops, cranes, tankers, tow trucks, etc.).

At present, a new international classification and designations have been introduced for vehicles, adopted in the international rules developed by the Inland Transport Committee of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (Consolidated Resolution on the Design of Vehicles. UNECE Rules, etc.).

Appendix No. 4

VIN code - what is it for?

The international standard ISO 3779, which describes the format of the VIN code (Vehicle Identification Number) of a vehicle, not only makes it easy to classify and identify a car, but also serves reliable protection from theft and theft. TS.

For the first time, the VIN code began to be used in 1977 by Canadian and American automakers. The VIN code consists of letters and numbers, the combination of which cannot be changed, since when creating the code, a check number calculation algorithm is used, by which you can check the car for theft. Therefore, attackers on stolen cars often change the VIN code to other valid VIN codes (under the documents of scrapped cars or frankly produce "clones").

Why do you need to know what a VIN is?

The fact is that the main purpose of the wine code is to identify the car. It is thanks to the unique structure of the code and the presence of a verification number that the risk of acquiring a stolen car can be reduced. And the more reliable the VIN code is "fixed" on the car, the more plates (nameplates) with the VIN code on the car, the more difficult it is for attackers to change the car's native VIN code to someone else's.

Vehicle marking

Marking of vehicles (TC) is divided into main and additional. The main marking of vehicles and their components is mandatory and is carried out by their manufacturers. In the case of the manufacture of a vehicle by several enterprises in series, it is permissible to apply the main marking of the vehicle only by the manufacturer of the final product. Additional vehicle marking is recommended and is carried out by both vehicle manufacturers and specialized enterprises. The development and control of the procedure for applying the main and additional marking of the vehicle is assigned to the relevant ministries of those countries in whose territory the vehicle is manufactured.

Application of the main marking

The vehicle identification number (VIN) must be affixed directly to the product (non-removable part), in places least susceptible to destruction in a traffic accident. One of the selected places should be on the right side (in the direction of the vehicle). VIN is applied: - on the car body - in two places, in the front and rear parts; - on the back of the bus - in two different places; - on the body of a trolley bus - in one place; - on the cab of a truck and a forklift - in one place; - on the frame of a trailer, semi-trailer and motor vehicle - in one place; - on off-road vehicles, trolleybuses and forklifts, VIN may be indicated on a separate plate.
The vehicle, as a rule, should have a plate located, if possible, in the front part and containing the following data: - VIN; - index (model, modification, version) of the engine (with a working volume of 125 cm3 or more); - permissible gross weight; - permissible total mass of the road train (for tractors); - the permissible mass per axle/axles of the bogies, starting from the front axle; - permissible mass per fifth wheel coupling.

Vehicle identification number (VIN)- a combination of digital and alphabetic symbols assigned for identification purposes is a mandatory element of marking and is individual for each vehicle for 30 years.

VIN has the following structure: WMI(3 characters) + VDS(6 characters) + VIS(8 characters)

First part of VIN(first three characters) - international manufacturer identification code (WMI), allows you to identify the manufacturer of the vehicle and consists of three letters or letters and numbers.

In accordance with ISO 3780, the letters and numbers used in the first two characters of WMI are assigned to the country and controlled by an international agency - the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), operating under the guidance of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The distribution of the first two characters characterizing the zone and country of origin, according to SAE, is given in Appendix 1.

first sign(geographical area code) is a letter or number that represents a specific geographic area. For example: 1 to 5 - North America; from S to Z - Europe; A to H - Africa; from J to R - Asia; 6.7 - Countries of Oceania; 8,9,0 - South America.

Second sign(country code) is a letter or number that identifies a country in a specific geographic area. More than one character may be used to indicate a country, if necessary. Only the combination of the first and second characters guarantees the unambiguous identification of the country. For example: from 10 to 19 - USA; 1A to 1Z - USA; 2A to 2W - Canada; from ZA to ZW - Mexico; from W0 to W9 - Germany, Federal Republic; from WA to WZ - Germany, Federal Republic.

Third sign is a letter or number that is set for the manufacturer by the National Organization. In Russia, such an organization is the Central Research Automobile and Automotive Institute (NAMI), located at the address: Russia, 125438, Moscow, st. Avtomotornaya, house 2, which assigns WMI as a whole. Only the combination of the first, second and third characters provides an unambiguous identification of the vehicle manufacturer - the International Manufacturer Identity (WMI). The number 9 as the third character is used by National Organizations when it is necessary to characterize a manufacturer that produces less than 500 cars per year. International Manufacturer Codes (WMI) are listed in Appendix 2.

Content and place of additional marking

Additional marking of the vehicle is often called anti-theft, since its main purpose is to exclude the possibility of a complete loss of the vehicle identification number - VIN for any operating conditions TS for 30 years. The main marking of the vehicle must ensure the identification of the vehicle (retention of the VIN) during normal (normal) operation of the vehicle and extreme, which is considered to be a traffic accident, of any degree of consequences. Methods and a limited number of places for applying the main marking on the vehicle allow attackers, in artisanal conditions, to relatively effectively carry out fraudulent actions with the vehicle, which is practically impossible both technically and impractical economic side in the presence of additional marking of the vehicle.

Additional marking of the vehicle provides for the application of the VDS and VIS identification number of the vehicle, visible and invisible to the eye (visible and invisible marking).

Visible marking is applied on the outer surface, as a rule, of the following components of the vehicle: - windshield glass - on the right side, along the upper edge of the glass, at a distance of about 20 mm from the seal; - rear window glass - on the left side, along the lower edge of the glass, at a distance of about 20 mm from the seal; - windows of sidewalls (movable) - in the rear part, along the lower edge of the glass, at a distance of about 20 mm from the seal; - headlights and rear lights - on the glass (or rim), along the lower edge, near the sidewalls of the body (cabin).

Invisible marking is applied, as a rule, on: - roof upholstery - in the central part, at a distance of about 20 mm from the windshield glass seal; - upholstery of the backrest of the driver's seat - on the left (in the direction of the vehicle) side surface, in the middle part, along the backrest frame; - the surface of the turn signal switch housing along the axis of the steering column.

Technical requirements for marking

Execution method primary and secondary visible markings must ensure the clarity of the image and its safety during the entire period of operation of the vehicle in the conditions and modes established in the design documentation.

The identification numbers of the vehicle and the midrange should use the letters of the Latin alphabet (except for I, O and Q) and Arabic numerals.

The font of letters the enterprise chooses from the types of fonts established in regulatory documents, taking into account the accepted technological process.

The font of the numbers should exclude the possibility of deliberate replacement of one number with another.

The identification numbers of the vehicle and the midrange, as well as signs of additional marking, must be displayed in one or two lines.

There should be no spaces between characters and lines of the identification number. It is allowed to separate the constituent parts of the identification number by the selected character.

Note. When citing an identification number in text documents, the selected character may not be affixed.

When performing the main marking, the height of letters and numbers must be at least:

a) in the identification numbers of the vehicle and the midrange: 7 mm - when applied directly to the vehicle and their components, while 5 mm is allowed - for engines and their blocks; 4 mm - when applied directly to motor vehicles; 4 mm - when applied to plates;

b) in the rest of the marking data - 2.5 mm.

The identification number of the main marking should be applied to surfaces that have traces of mechanical processing provided for by the technological process. The plates must comply with the requirements of GOST 12969, GOST 12970, GOST 12971 and be attached to the product using, as a rule, a permanent connection.

Additional invisible markings is performed using a special technology and becomes visible in the light of ultraviolet rays. When marking, the structure of the material on which it is applied should not be violated.

It is not allowed to destroy and (or) change the marking during the repair of the vehicle and its components.

The identification number of the MF consists of two structural parts, the number of characters and the rules for the formation of which are similar to VDS and VIS section 5.

4.4.2. The identification number of the MF on the frame of the chassis and cab of the truck, as well as on the body of the car, should be applied, if possible, in the front part, on the right side, in one place, allowing it to be seen from outside the vehicle.

4.4.3. Engines are marked on the block in one place.

Engine blocks are marked in one place, while the first part of the SC identification number, similar to VDS, may not be indicated

5. Vehicle identification number

5.1. Vehicle identification number (VIN) - a combination of digital and alphabetic symbols assigned for identification purposes, is a mandatory element of marking and is individual for each vehicle for 30 years.

5.2. VIN has the following structure:

5.2.1. International Manufacturer Identification Code (WMI) - the first part of the VIN, which allows you to identify the manufacturer of the vehicle, consists of three letters and numbers.

In general, WMI assigns the Central Research Automobile and Automotive Institute (NAMI), located at the address: Russia, 125438, Moscow, Avtomotornaya st., 2.

NOTE In accordance with ISO 3780, the letters and numbers used on the first two characters of WMI are assigned to the country and controlled by an international agency, the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), operating under the guidance of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

5.2.2. (am.2) The descriptive part (VDS) of the identification number - the second part of the VIN, consists of six characters.

As a VDS, the TS index, which is integral part its designation, assigned in the manner prescribed for products of the automotive industry. *

* The designation is assigned:

NAMI - TC, listed in 3.1., listings a) - g) (address - according to 5.2.1.);
JSC "MOTOPROM" - TS according to 3.1., transfer h) (address - Russia, 142207, Serpukhov, Borisovskoe highway, house 17).

For motor vehicles as hallmark from other vehicles, the Latin letter "M" must be used on the first sign of the VDS. On subsequent VDS signs- index without dot.

If the vehicle index includes less than six characters, zeros should be put in the empty spaces of the last VDS characters (on the right).

If it is necessary to reflect the variance and (or) completeness of the vehicle in the identification number, it is recommended to use their conditional code in the VDS, which is assigned by the enterprise - the holder of the original CD.

Examples of the use of conditional codes as VDS are shown in Table 2.

table 2

5.2.3. Indicative part (VIS) of the identification number - the third part of the VIN consists of eight digits and letters, of which the last four characters must be digits. The first sign must indicate the code of the year of manufacture of the vehicle in accordance with Appendix A. The subsequent signs must indicate the serial number of the vehicle, which is assigned by the manufacturer.

5.2.4. (am.1) The content of the marking, including the vehicle code according to 5.2.2., must be given in the operating manual (instruction) and, at the discretion of the developer, in specifications TS.

6. Additional vehicle marking

6.1. Additional marking of the vehicle provides for the application of the VDS and VIS identification number of the vehicle, visible and invisible to the eye (visible and invisible marking).

6.2. Visible marking is applied to the outer surface, as a rule, of the following components of the vehicle:

a) windshield glass - on the right side, along the upper edge of the glass, at a distance of about 20 mm from the seal;

b) rear window glass - on the left side, along the lower edge of the glass, at a distance of about 20 mm from the seal;

c) glass windows of the sidewalls (movable) - in the rear part, along the lower edge of the glass, at a distance of about 20 mm from the seal;

d) headlights and rear lights - on the glass (or rim), along the lower edge, near the sidewalls of the body (cab).

6.3. Invisible marking is applied, as a rule, on:

a) roof upholstery - in the central part, at a distance of about 20 mm from the windshield glass seal;

b) upholstery of the backrest of the driver's seat - on the left (in the direction of the vehicle) side surface, in the middle part, along the backrest frame;

c) the surface of the turn indicator switch housing along the axis of the steering column.

7. Technical requirements for marking

7.1. The method of performing the main and additional visible markings must ensure the clarity of the image and its safety throughout the entire period of operation of the vehicle in the conditions and modes established by the design documentation.

7.2. The identification numbers of the vehicle and the midrange should use the letters of the Latin alphabet (except for I, O and Q) and Arabic numerals.

7.2.1. The font of letters the enterprise chooses from the types of fonts established in regulatory documents, taking into account the accepted technological process.

7.2.2. The font of the numbers should exclude the possibility of deliberate replacement of one number with another.

7.3. The identification number of the vehicle and the midrange, as well as signs of additional marking must be shown in one or two lines.

When displaying an identification number in two lines, none of its components is allowed to be divided by a hyphen. At the beginning and end of the line(s) there must be a sign (symbol, plate bounding box, etc.), which is chosen by the enterprise and must differ from the numbers and letters of the marking. The selected sign is described in the technical documentation. There should be no spaces between characters and lines of the identification number. It is allowed to separate the constituent parts of the identification number by the selected character.

Note - When giving an identification number in text documents, it is allowed not to put down the selected character.

7.4. When performing the main marking, the height of letters and numbers must be at least:

7.7. Additional invisible marking is carried out using a special technology and becomes visible in the light of ultraviolet rays. When marking, the structure of the material on which it is applied should not be violated.

7.8. It is not allowed to destroy and (or) change the marking during the repair of the vehicle and its components.
