Description / Abstract:
This document specifies the format, content and parameters for a
product identification numbering system for off-road
recreation vehicles, based on the PIN structure for
earth-moving machinery in ISO 10261:2002E and is not applicable to
the identification of components or attachments. This standard
applies only to the off-road recreation vehicle industry and does
not impose parameters for the marine, lawn and garden,
silviculture, husbandry, construction or earth moving sectors.
PURPOSE
The purpose of SAE ICS-1000 is to provide a global
identification system for off-road recreation
vehicles that is similar enough to the VIN (as described in ISO
3779-1983E), in order to provide consistency and transparency to
the VIN user and yet be different enough so as not to cause
confusion with on-road vehicles.
