3 Identification of revisions
A revision is a process which is precisely defined in respect of content and time. Its purpose is to reestablish the
conformity of a component, assembly or functional unit with the required characterstics. To this end, the
component is subjected to assessment and testing at specified intervals. If required, a non-conforming element is
replaced or reworked to restore its usability/perfect condition and make it safe for another utilisation period.
If a component has to be subjected to a revision, the letter „R“ shall be added to the respective serial number. To
indicate that the revision has been completed, the letter “X” is to be added behind the letter “R”. For each further
revision another “X” shall be added. It is to be made sure that enough space is provided for such extensions of
the serial number.
Example 3: Component for which revisions are being planned:
9R6.343.293.00 AS04 #00127#R
Example 4: Component from example 3 after three revisions have been completed:
9R6.343.293.00 AS04 #00127#RXXX
Any limitation of the number of permissible revisions shall be indicated in the component drawing. In that case, the
serial number of the respective component shall be provided with a corresponding number of circles behind the
letter „R“. After each revision, one of the circles shall be marked with an „X“. Upon having filled all the circles, no
further revisions shall be permissble.
Example 5: New component for which three revisions have been authorized:
9R6.343.293.00 AS04 #00127#ROOO
Example 6: Component from example 5 after two revisions have been completed:
XX
9R6.343.293.00 AS04 #00127#ROOO
4 Marking of components
The marking of components is subject to the specifications laid down in PN 109. The identification number must
be easy to read also after the component has been in operation and therefore shall be applied in a sufficiently
permanent way. The identification number shall be positioned on the component as specified in PN 109.
Both the part number and serial number shall be easy to read in installed condition. Preferably, the serial number
should have the same font and font size as the part number.

5 Drawing inscription
The necessity of using a serial number is to be indicated according to PN 109 and placed above the table:
If there is a limitation to the number of revisions, the inscription shall read as follows:
