1 INTRODUCTION
A part class is a general category of parts that appears in the first two positions in the
Digital part number. Part classes are the mechanism through which Digital implements
decentralized control of part number responsibilities.
1.1 PURPOSE
This document defines the part classes that are authorized for use within Digital. In
addition to the definition of part class, the document identifies the organization and
individual responsible for managing the part identifiers in each class and the responsible
person to contact for part number assignment.
1.2 SCOPE
This standard identifies the part classes approved for use within Digital. A part identifier
may not be assigned unless its part class is authorized by this standard.
This standard does not include:
•

Procedures for assigning or obtaining a part number within a part class

•

Definitions of formats or the meaning of character sequences within each class

These procedures and formats are defined by each of the responsible groups. For further
information refer to Section 2.3 in this document.
This standard supplements the requirements of DEC STD 012-0 Part Identification
Standard, which defines the general format of the part identifier and its subfields including
the part class. Specific documents that elaborate on special requirements within certain
part classes are listed in Appendix A.

2 RESPONSIBILITIES
2.1 RESPONSIBLE PERSONS
Each part class in this standard is assigned to a person who has the following
responsibilities:
•

Define and document procedures and requirements for part number assignment.

•

Ensure all part numbers and related data are posted and maintained in the corporate
master parts data base (APPIX). In special cases, this requirement may be waived by
the Domain Manager based on written justification. In such cases, the responsible
person must ensure that the part numbers are posted to an alternate, equally
accessible, parts master file. These exceptions are noted in the definition of the part
class in head4.1.

•

Ensure that part class is used consistently, and that items are assigned to the proper
part class.

•

Notify the Technical Domain Manager of any changes in the definition of the part class
or in the responsible persons listed in this standard.



EL-00012-02

The procedure for part number assignment in the responsible department must be written
and controlled by formal document control procedures. This documentation must also list
the specific part data required in the assignment process. A current copy of this procedure
must be kept on file with the Technical Domain Manager.
2.2 CONTACT PERSONS
A contact person for each part class is designated by the responsible person. This person
can fulfill requests for new part numbers in that class.
2.3 TECHNICAL DOMAIN MANAGER
Digital’s part numbering system, the Unified Numbering Code(UNC), is managed as
a technical domain as defined in DEC STD 066-1 Technical Domains in the Product
Development Process. The Domain Manager is David Crowley (use the Employee Locator
Facility (ELF) to obtain up-to-date phone, E-Mail, and location information). He is the
responsible person for this section of DEC STD 012, and provides general control for
all Digital standards that define the structure, assignment, or use of part classes, part
numbers, part identifiers, and document identifiers. He approves all new part classes and
maintains a list of all approved part classes. This list may include part classes assigned
since the most recent revision of this standard.

3 NEW PART CLASS ASSIGNMENT
Part classes are assigned to categories of parts. As categories evolve, new part classes will
be created. New part classes must be approved by the Domain Manager.
When requesting a new part class designation, the requestor must supply the following
information:
•

A short clear description of the part category.

•

A justification for the new class and a description of its relationship with other classes.

•

The names of the responsible department, responsible manager, and the contact person
who will actually assign the numbers.

•

A statement of the process for posting the parts to the Corporate Master Parts
Data Base. This statement should indicate whether these parts are intended to be
salable, whether there are any geographic restrictions, whether there is a standard
cost, whether a parts list is required, and whether there is any other dependency or
integration with corporate processes.

•

A preliminary description of the procedure for obtaining parts in this class.

•

A preliminary description of any procedures, patterns, or algorithms used to assign
specific part numbers within the class.

•

An estimate of the initial volume of parts and the expected rate of growth.

4.2 EXPLANATORY NOTES
The following notes provide additional information about the part classes defined under
head 4.1. In particular, a single-part class with multiple contact persons are explained in
the following notes rather than in the body of the table
All names and electronic addresses are subject to change at any time. If you are unable to
reach one of the contact persons, contact the responsible person for help. If you are unable
to reach the responsible person, contact the Domain Manager.
4.2.1 Note 1—Engineering Support Part Number Assignment
Part numbers under the responsibility of Engineering Support Operations are assigned
locally by the engineering support function at each design site. The part classes handled
in this manner are: 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 70, 75, 76, 93, 95, 96, and MA.
The Engineering Support Operations organization assigns a block of numbers to each site’s
engineering support function upon request. The contact for obtaining blocks of numbers
is Brian Keefer. Once the block of numbers is allocated, it is the responsibility of the
engineering support group at the site to assign individual part numbers and to ensure that
the part number and related information is added to APPIX.
Table 1 identifies the design sites where part number assignment services are available,
and the name of the contact individual at each site. Note that the information in this table
is subject to change without notice. Contact Brian Keefer for updated information.
