RNCC Please select A Reference with RNCC '1' allocated means that the Item of Supply in question has
been subjected to special testing or sampling by the Design Activity thus ensuring that
the Item of Supply is fit for a specific purpose. RNCC '1' is usually allocated at the
request of the Design Activity to restrict the possibility, on re-acquisition, of the wrong
Item of Supply being acquired and avoid the possibility of degrading the performance of
the equipment by the use of sub-standard spares. A Reference with RNCC '2' allocated means that the Item of Supply in question is
manufactured to a Government/Civilian Standard or Specification. This RNCC should be
allocated when the Standard or Specification identifying number is fully definitive and
identifies the Item of Supply without any additional information. A Reference with RNCC 3 allocated means that the Item of Supply in question is fully and
definitively identified by the Design Control Reference, subject to the RNVC allocated in
conjunction with RNCC 3. RNCC 3 should not be allocated to Item of Supply
manufactured in accordance with a Government/Civilian Standard or Specification.
Where the RNCC is 3 and the RNVC is 9, then the Reference has been declared
obsolete by the Design Authority. A Reference with RNCC '4' allocated means that the Item of Supply in question is
Manufactured to a Government/Civilian Standard/Specification but the Reference
recorded with this RNCC is not fully definitive and therefore does not fully identify the
Item of Supply without the addition of further identifying information. A Reference with this
RNCC will always have a RNVC of '1'. A Reference with RNCC '5' allocated means that the Item of Supply in question,
depending on the RNVC allocated, has either, a secondary source of supply
(Supplier/Vendor) (RNCC 5, RNVC 2), is obsolete (RNCC 5, RNVC 9) or has a non
definitive Secondary Reference (RNCC 5, RNVC 1). A Reference with RNCC '6' allocated means that the Item of Supply in question, has
additional informative information recorded in Segment C. This data may be used by the
allocating NCB for control purposes or by acquisition organisations for cross reference
purposes. A Reference with RNCC '7' allocated means that the Reference in question fully meets
the stated requirements of the design control authority and may be acquired from any
approved vendor. The user may find more than one Item of Supply with this Reference
recorded, where this is the case, the user may assume that all of the NSNs found meet
the original outline requirement statement. This RNCC is allocated to Items of Production that are being manufactured under
license. Design Category Packaging and Related Logistics Data Reference Number. The number
of a document representing packaging and related logistics data requirements. A Reference Number assigned to an item of production not included in the item of supply
concept to which the NATO Stock Number -NSN- has been assigned. Use of this
Reference Number Category Code -RNCC- is restricted to conditions where crossreference
is required to establish identification to an item of supply. Additionally, there is
no direct relationship of the Reference Number to the NSN other than a service/agency
individual decision. Drawing Number Reference. A number assigned by a design activity to a drawing or
other technical documentation which identifies a drawing/document that is related to an
item of supply or production but does not qualify for assignment of codes 1, 3, 5, 7 or C.
Code D Reference Numbers will not be used in item of supply determinations. This reference requires revision due to the fact that the reference has been automatically
transferred from a cancelled NSN to an active NSN. RNVC Please select A Design Control Reference or other Reference Number that does not identify an item of
production without the use of additional information. A Design Control Reference or other Reference Number that is an item-identifying
number for an item of production. A vendor's Reference Number on a source control item which is reparable through the
removal, exchange, and reinstallation of component parts. The related Source Control
Document Number will also reflect the code 3. This code is limited to a type 1B or 4B item
identification. A non-item-identifying reference number that is added to a replacement NSN as a result
of a cancel-use action. Used to identify the original item of supply/replaced item.
Do not use for codification purposes. A specification, standard, or other Reference Number which has been superseded,
cancelled, is obsolete, or discontinued and has RNCC 4, 5 or 7; the Reference Number is
for information only and has RNCC 6; a drawing which is the Controlling Reference
Number coded RNCC 2 or 3; or a drawing number reference coded RNCC D.
