UKVIN Group trade and asset identification knowledge centre
Creating an asset identification register
An asset register links an internal tag number to the item that carries it. The register can store purchase date, location, service information and an authorised owner or custodian.
How the process works
The scheme should prevent duplicate numbers and make it easy to report a replaced or missing tag. A company's asset ID is not a manufacturer's serial number.
Practical example
A garage records which diagnostic scanner has tag S-014 without changing its manufacturer serial markings.
Three steps to check
- Define unique codes
- Record location and status
- Track replacement history
Useful details for a UKVIN Group enquiry
State the intended business or vehicle application, the surface and environment, dimensions in millimetres, material preference, quantity and whether the design has variable numbering. Ask for test samples where fit or service life matters. Include an approved proof for any personalised content and distinguish internal asset codes from official vehicle identification fields.
Independent supply note: UKVIN Group supplies unbranded label stock, tags, plates and information. An internal equipment identifier cannot substitute for an officially required vehicle plate or VIN. A supplier may require evidence of authority before accepting any vehicle-specific identification order.
