An item usually metallic, threaded or unthreaded, used for securing to or positioning into a mating part. It is designed to be used in a globe, relief, regulator valve and the like as a means of controlling the flow of liquids or gases in a given system. One end may have an integral disk or be designed to accommodate a metallic or nonmetallic disk. The other end is designed for a handwheel, lever, spring, diaphragm and the like for nonpowered operation or to accommodate a gear, solenoid, air motor and the like for powered operation. The handwheel and/or disk may be furnished with the item. Excludes stem, faucet; and stem, needle valve.
Indicates there is no data in the hmirs and the nsn is in a fsc not generally suspected of containing hazardous materials.
Item does not contain precious metal.
Represents items with no adp components
The item does not have a nuclear hardened feature or any other critical feature such as tolerance, fit restriction or application.
HMIC: Hazardous Material Indicator Code. A one position code that identifies a hazardous item.
PMIC: Precious Metal Indicator Code. A one position code which identifies items that have precious metals as part of their content. precious metals are those metals generally considered to be uncommon, highly valuable, and relatively superior in certain properties such as resistance to corrosion and electrical conductivity.
ESD: Electrostatic Discharge. Indicates if an item is susceptible to electrostatic discharge or electromagnetic interference damage. electrostatic discharge damage occurs when an accumulation of static electricity generated by the relative motion or separation of materials is released to another item by direct contact. electromagnetic interference damage occurs when an item comes into proximity with an electrostatic or magnetic field.
ENAC: Enviromental Attribute Code. Identifies items with environmentally preferred characteristics.
CRITL: Criticality Indicator Code. Indicates an item is technically critical by tolerance, fit, application, nuclear hardness properties, or other characteristics.

An items that supports either a subsafe or level 1 system that has undergone the extreme material control and quality assurance techniques that provide objective exidence of its acceptance for its appropriate application. each item has certification papers (or special markings that provide traceability to the certification) that pedigree its material and physical properties, provide traceability, to manufacturer, contract list and lot, and document the quality assurance system and test requirements applied to the item.
SOS: Source of Supply. A three position code or routing identifier code (ric), which identifies the source of supply activity.
SMIC: Special Material Indicator Code. A two position code, which categorizes material on the basis of requirements for source or quality control, technical design or configuration control, procurement, stocking and issue control, special receipt, inspection, testing, storage, or handling.
MMAC: Material Management Aggregation Code. A two position code that identifies an item of supply to be managed by a specific activity manager.
MCC: Material Echelon Code. A two position code employed by the marine corps in classifying items into categories by materiel category and procurement echelon. the alphanumeric management code is in the first position and identifies the materiel category
