1 Scope and field of application

This standard specifies how parts shall be marked or branded. Which parts shall be marked and what
information the marking shall contain is not addressed here, as this is decided in local instructions at the
respective Volvo Group entity.

The standard applies to direct marking on parts. In relevant sections, it may also be used for indirect
marking, such as marking of packages.

Marking may include branding when requested by the brands.

If the manufacturer needs to make its own marking to facilitate handling, for example, this can be
accepted by the responsible Volvo Group entity on condition that the function of the part is not
jeopardized. However, this marking shall be placed completely separate from the Volvo Group entity
marking. The supplier’s marking shall be approved by the Volvo Group entity.

2 Terms and definitions

Volvo brand marking
In this standard Volvo brand marking refers to marking with one or more of the various Volvo Group
brands.

3 Location and visibility

3.1 General
The marking shall be located in such a way that the function of the part is not affected and the marking
must be legible when required.
Any application of the Volvo Group product emblems and wordmark logotypes must be approved by
Product Design and Aftermarket brand representatives.

3.2 Volvo brand marking

When Volvo brand marking is required it shall be located in a visible area of the part.
It shall be proportional in size to the physical size of the part and the area where it is located.
The area selected shall be non-critical and should not be affected by further processing or assembly
requirements.

3.3 Supplier brand marking – when applicable

As a general rule, a manufacturer’s/supplier’s trademark/logotype shall not be present on the part.
However, European law sometimes allows a supplier trademark/logotype on Volvo products. In these
cases, Volvo demands compliance with the following conditions for this to happen:

− All supplier brand markings shall be approved by the brand representatives.

− Only tier-1 supplier brand markings may appear.

− The Volvo brand marking must be equally or more prominent than the tier-1 supplier’s marking,
irrespective of whether the component is installed in the vehicle.

− The tier-1 supplier’s brand marking shall be clearly separate from the Volvo brand marking.

− The tier-1 supplier’s brand marking shall not be visible to the customer during normal vehicle use.

− Other tier-1 supplier markings, e.g. to facilitate handling, may be accepted, provided that this
does not jeopardize the form, fit or function of the part. However, such marking shall be placed
clearly separate from the specified Volvo marking and must not be visible to the customer during
normal use of the product or component. The supplier’s additional marking may only contain
information that will support manufacturer traceability of the part. The supplier’s part number, or
similar, shall not be included in the marking.

3.4 Supplier serial number

When Volvo requires that a part be marked with the supplier’s serial number to ensure traceability, this
number shall be easy to distinguish from other numerical information.

Unless otherwise agreed, it is recommended that the serial number be indicated using the “S/N:” string of
characters.

4 Indication of marking in design-engineering documentation

In the technical documentation (drawings, etc.), the marking shall be given as follows:

The marking symbol shall consist of a square. It shall be placed so that its diagonals are parallel to the
sides of the drawing. The surface onto which the marking shall be applied shall be shown with a leader
line drawn from one of the corners of the square. The leader line shall terminate in a point (surface of part
or limited surface area) or an arrow (edge of part) as shown by the example in figure 1a.

The placement of the marking on parts shall be clearly indicated in the technical documentation.

For indication of the opposite (hidden) surface, a dashed leader line is used as per figure 1b.

If several different markings have been indicated, they shall be marked by a digit in the symbol for
marking as shown by the example in figure 1a.

If the marking area shall be limited, this must be indicated with a long-dashed, double-dotted, narrow line.
Its dimension and placement shall be given in accordance with the example in figure 1a.

2 Various durable marking methods: Marking methods which produce a permanent
identification visible even after painting, plating, etc.
Used, for instance, for sheet metal and leather parts,
and when remarking cast and forged parts. In
unfavourable cases, this may reduce tensile strength.

2.1.1 Punching (by pressing, rolling or

striking)
2.1.2 Embossing
2.1.3 Marking using a vibro pen
2.2.1 Etching (with acid)
2.2.2 Etching (electro-chemical)
2.3.1 Engraving
2.3.2 Scribing
2.4 Sparking (electrical arc scribing)
2.5 Marking using a laser beam
3 Marking plate: Used, for instance, for certain pressed sheet metal
parts and for components bought in the finished
stage.

3.1 Screwed plate

3.2 Riveted plate
3.3 Spot-welded plate
3.4 Soldered plate
4 Adhesion: Non-durable marking method used, for instance, for
plastics and rubber parts and for components bought
in the finished stage.

4.1 Label (adhesive)

4.2 Decal (decalcomania)
4.3 Band (tape)
2)

5 Stamping, Stenciling or Painting Used for instance on mandrel vulcanized rubber parts
Non-durable branding

and also on parts made of metal, plastic, fibre, paper,

leather and cork. Unless otherwise specified, the
marking colour is at the suppliers’ discretion, but it
shall contrast with the final colour of the furnished
part. The logotype can be printed on the original
material. May be carried out as screen print.
Considered non-durable as it may become invisible
after painting, plating, etc.
Branding may not be painted over unless the
branding is visible after painting and with due
consideration to the part material and quality of the
painting.
5.1 With dye
5.2 With ink This can be considered durable branding in some
applications (refer to the branding guidelines)

6 Basic markings
This section describes the basic marking designations used for text marking on parts. In addition to this,
supplementary marking designations in accordance with section 7 can be used.
The general requirement is that the marking shall be kept together and structured as shown in section 11,
figure 34.
If lack of space makes this impractical, the marking shall be spread out and this shall be indicated on the
drawing by using multiple marking symbols (see example 2 in Appendix A).

6.1 Volvo brand marking

The Volvo brand markings are legally protected. They are specially designed for us. A correct
representation of our brand markings helps maintain this protection and is thus an absolute requirement.
All our brand markings have a fixed graphic form, and the distances between the various elements must
never be changed. The brand markings may not occur in running text or be changed by the addition of
text, pictures or symbols.
When a brand marking is reproduced by casting, punching, embossing, etching, or engraving, unless
otherwise is stated, the letters shall be filled and evenly raised or lowered, depending on marking method,
in relation to the surrounding surface.

6.2 Part number

The identity of the part (the part number) shall be given in the marking text.
The clearance all around the part number shall be equal to at least half the height of the marking.
In certain cases, the marking text contains another part number than that of the part in question (e.g. the
part number of the assembly in which it is to be included). When that is the case, the number shall be
written out in full next to the marking code (see example 2 in Appendix A1).

6.3 Country of origin

Parts that require indication of the country of origin in the marking shall include the words “MADE IN”,
followed by the actual name of the country of origin in capital letters.

The name of the country of origin shall correspond to the short name in English stated in ISO 3166-1.

Unless otherwise agreed, no abbreviation or Alpha-3 code of the country name is permitted. For example,
USA shall preferably be indicated as “UNITED STATES”.

6.4 Special requirements for the United States

Special requirements apply to parts of foreign origin brought into the United States even if no country of
origin marking has been indicated in the basic marking as per table 2.

According to Section 304 of the Tariff Act of 1930, all imported parts must have country of origin marking,
see Code of Federal Regulations, Title 19 - Custom Duties, Part 134 - Country of Origin Marking

Note: If you have questions or want clarification to ensure correct adherence to the marking standard related
to country of origin, please e-mail your request to:
Info.USCustomsInquiries@volvo.com
with "Country of Origin Marking Request" as your Subject.

6.5 Designations
Designations specifying country of origin without the mandatory prefix “MADE IN” shall not be used for
new design. These designations have been transferred to table B1 in Appendix B

Other designations that shall not be used for new design have been transferred to table B1 in Appendix B

Fig. 5a VOLVO wordmark Fig. 5b VOLVO PENTA wordmark

When marking materials that, for some reason, do not permit the use of filled letters (e.g. hard materials),
the letters may be produced with contour lines. See figures 7a and 7b. A suitable thickness for the contour
lines is 1/100 of the length/width of the logotype. Contour lines may not be used in any other context.

Fig. 6a VOLVO wordmark contour Fig. 6b VOLVO PENTA wordmark contour

In accordance with the Volvo Brand Emblem Handbook, the pre-determined clear-zone around the
logotype shall be at least equal to the height (X) of the wordmark. See figures 7a and 7b.

Fig. 7a VOLVO wordmark clear zone Fig. 7b VOLVO PENTA wordmark clear zone

Note: In case of inadequate marking space, the clear zone may be equal to half the height of the logotype.

8.1.1 Colours
When printed, the VOLVO logotype must always be represented in one of its corporate colours.
For a correct representation of the Volvo corporate colours, the colour swatches included in the Volvo
Brand Emblem Handbook must be used. The purchasing department concerned is responsible for
providing colour swatches to the supplier.

Fig. 33e Example of clear zones

9 Text height
If the marking contains a brand mark, the specified size in the designation refers to the brand mark. The
text height of the other information shall be smaller than the height of the brand marking. The proportion
between the text height and the width of each brand mark is given in tables 6–12.
For definition of text heights, see figure 34 in section 11 Relative position of text on marked part.
If only identity data and manufacturing information are specified, the size refers to the text height of the
identity data (H1).
In these cases, the clearance all around the marking shall be equal to at least half the specified height H1
of the marking.
The dimensions listed in tables 6–12 refer to the letter or digit size in the tool. Thus, they are not
equivalent to the size of the actual marking obtained on the part.

Parts exposed to dirt, underseal or similar shall have a minimum text height of 4 mm for legibility reasons.

Normally, the combination 6/4 for H1/H2 should be used for such parts.

Should this combination not be possible due to lack of space, a text height of 4 mm shall be specified.
This must, however, be written out in full. See example below.

11 Relative position of text on marked part

Figure 33 shows how the information shall be positioned unless otherwise indicated. Normally, all this
information is not required at the same time.

Fig 34.

1) According to the relevant trademark regulations. See section 8 Brand markings.

Line 1 Brand mark
Line 2 Identification data
Line 3 Additional manufacturing data other than country of origin
Line 4 Country of origin (indicated in English)
Should one (or some) of the intermediate lines not be used, the lower one(s) shall be moved up a step (or
two). Should some information in the horizontal plane be left out, the remaining data shall be moved to the
left to produce a straight left margin.
For products where left-aligned text is not suitable from an aesthetic viewpoint, centred text is acceptable
(this shall, however, require approval by the Volvo Group entity concerned).
If the number of lines is restricted due to lack of space, this shall be indicated on the drawing. In such
case, e.g. "two lines" shall be indicated after the marking information.
If more than one line is prescribed, the logotype shall always be placed by itself on the top line.
