5 Marking Position of Vehicle Identification Number
5.1 Each vehicle shall have a unique vehicle identification number, which shall be
permanently and retentively marked on the vehicle. The composition and sequence of
all the character codes of vehicle identification number marked on the same vehicle
shall be identical. Except from the circumstance stipulated in Chapter 9, already-

be excluded) shall be marked. The type, marking position and marking requirements
of product label shall comply with the stipulations in GB/T 18411.
5.3 Vehicle shall at least have a vehicle identification number that is directly engraved
on an anti-corrosion and anti-abrasion part of the frame (in terms of vehicles without a
frame, it shall be on a main load-bearing and unremovable part of the vehicle body).
Specifically speaking:
a) Vehicle identification number of Type-M1 vehicle shall be engraved on a
structural part in the engine compartment that can prevent from replacement,
or, engraved on the door pillar. Due to the structural constraint, if there is no
space for engraving, it may also be engraved on another structural part on the
right side, except from the luggage compartment;
b) In terms of trucks and all the draw-bar trailers whose maximum design total
mass is more than, or equals to 12,000 kg, vehicle identification number shall

leg (apart from vehicles that do not have a stringer);
c) Vehicle identification number of other vehicles or trailers without a stringer shall
be engraved on a structural part in the front area on the right side. If there is
structural constraint, it may also be engraved on another structural part on the
right side.
Parts with engraved vehicle identification number cannot be handled through modes
like polishing, patching, gasket, chiseling and repainting (apart from the application of
lacquering technology in design and manufacture for the purpose of protecting the
engraved vehicle identification number). When being observed from the above (the
front), the surface of a sufficiently large area around the engraved area shall not have
any coverage. If there is coverage, the surface of such coverage shall clearly indicate
face of the container (atmospheric pressure tank) shall be less than, or, equals to 1,000

shall be as close to the front end face of the container (atmospheric pressure tank) as
possible.
5.8 Vehicle manufacturer shall mark vehicle identification number in at least one kind
of accompanying documents.
6 Marking Modes and Requirements of Vehicle
Identification Number
6.1 Vehicle identification number adopts human readable code, or, a combination of
human-readable code and machine-readable code, or, shall be marked in the form of
electronic data.
6.2 Vehicle identification number shall be directly engraved on vehicles; or, pasted on
vehicles through a label; or, be marked through the mode of storing electronic data that
complies with corresponding standard stipulations in an electronic control memory unit
in an irrevocable way. In terms of vehicles other than Type-M1 vehicles (excluding
Type-M1 vehicles completed through the manufacture in multiple stages), vehicle
identification number may also permanently and retentively be fixed on vehicles
through a label.
When vehicle identification number adopts the mode of direct engraving for marking,
the following requirements shall be satisfied:
a) When vehicle identification number is marked in accordance with the
stipulations in 5.3 and 5.7, in terms of automobiles and trailers, the height of
directly engraved character codes shall be more than, or, equals to 7.0 mm; the
depth of the character codes shall be more than, or, equals to 0.3 mm (the
depth of passenger cars and closed trucks whose total mass is less than or
equals to 3,500 kg shall be more than, or, equals to 0.2 mm). In terms of
motorcycles, the height of directly engraved character codes shall be more than,
or, equals to 5.0 mm; the depth of the character codes shall be more than, or,
equals to 0.2 mm. The total length of the engraved vehicle identification number
shall be less than, or, equals to 200 mm.
b) Apart from marking vehicle identification number in accordance with the
stipulations in 5.3 and 5.7, the height of directly engraved character codes shall
be more than, or, equals to 4.0 mm.
c) The typeface and the size of character codes of the engraved vehicle
identification number shall be identical (except from vehicle identification
number that is engraved on different parts). Moreover, the spacing between the
the vehicle identification number on the original vehicle. Thus, final-stage manufacturer
shall take the responsibility of marking the vehicle identification number of the original
vehicle in accordance with the marking position and marking modes stipulated in this
Standard.
If final-stage manufacturer conducts manufacturing operations on incomplete vehicle
without an intact driving cab, and the vehicle completed in multiple-stage manufacture
belongs to Type-M1 and Type-N1 vehicles, then, the final-stage manufacturer shall take
the responsibility of marking the vehicle identification number of the original vehicle in
accordance with the marking position and marking modes of Type-M1 and Type-N1
vehicles stipulated in this Standard.
8 Compilation Rules of Vehicle Identification Number
8.1 Vehicle manufacturer shall formulate its own compilation rules of vehicle
identification number in accordance with the stipulations in this Standard. The
compilation rules of vehicle identification number shall include specific stipulations of
the encoding rules of all character codes of vehicle identification number, the marking
position and marking modes of vehicle identification number, etc.
8.2 Vehicle manufacturer’s compilation rules of vehicle identification number shall be
submitted to an authorized organization for review and registration.
8.3 Vehicle manufacturer shall mark vehicle identification number on each vehicle
product in accordance with the compilation rules of vehicle identification number that
have already been reviewed and registered.
8.4 Manufacturer of import vehicles shall comply with the stipulations in 8.1 ~ 8.3.

marking or modification of vehicle identification number. Vehicle manufacturer shall
permanently keep relevant vehicle information after re-marking or modification; in
accordance with relevant requirements, submit to the authorized organization for
Figure 3 -- Identifier of Re-marking or Modification
b) Vehicle manufacturer shall engrave the re-marked vehicle identification number
(as it is shown in Figure 4) in a tightly connected position of the original vehicle
identification number. In terms of Type-M1, Type-N1, Type-L1 and Type-L3
vehicles, if there is structural constraint, the re-marked vehicle identification
number may also be engraved on other parts that comply with the stipulations
in Chapter 5.
9.2.3 When vehicle manufacturer modifies vehicle identification number that is already
engraved in accordance with the stipulations in Chapter 5, vehicle manufacturer shall
satisfy the following requirements:
a) Vehicle manufacturer shall engrave an identifier of re-marking or modification
(as it is shown in Figure 3) in a tightly connected space on both ends of the
original vehicle identification number. The outer diameter of the identifier of re-
marking or modification shall be more than, or, equals to the height of character
codes of the original vehicle identification number; the depth shall be more than,
or, equals to the depth of character codes of the original vehicle identification
number.
b) Vehicle manufacturer shall engrave “X” on character codes that need
modification in the original vehicle identification number; engrave the modified
vehicle identification number (as it is shown in Figure 5) in a tightly connected
position of the original vehicle identification number. In terms of Type-M1, Type-
N1, Type-L1 and Type-L3 vehicles, if there is structural constraint, “X” may not
be engraved; meanwhile, the modified vehicle identification number (as it is
shown in Figure 6) may also be engraved on other parts stipulated in Chapter
5.
