Summary/Abstract: This article seeks to present the NATO Codification System and the National Codification Bureau of Romania. The NATO Codification System is managed and run by a NATO Cadre Group consisting of the National Directors on Codification Allied Committee 135 (AC/135). It is a uniform and common system for the identification, classification and stock numbering of Items of Supply of user nations. It is meant to achieve maximum effectiveness in logistics support and to facilitate materiel data management. The System has been agreed upon by all signatories of the Alliance and sponsored non-NATO nations for use in identifying equipment and supplies and must: provide accurate data on all items of supply to all participating nations in peacetime or at war; allow prompt access to data; provide a common language understandable by all.
