This SAE Recommended Practice establishes procedure for the issuance and assignment of a World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI) on a uniform basis to vehicle manufacturers who may desire to incorporate it in their Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN). This recommended practice is intended to be used in conjunction with the recommendations for VIN systems described in SAE J853a, J187, J272b, J273a, and other SAE reports for VIN systems. These procedures were developed to assist in identifying the vehicle as to its point of origin. It was felt that issuance of the WMI by a single organization would avoid duplication of manufacturer identifiers and assist in the identification of vehicles by agencies such as those concerned with motor vehicle titling and registration, law enforcement, and theft recovery.

This SAE Recommended Practice has been established to provide direction for the design and installation of a vehicle identification number assigned to a truck or truck-tractor. In adhering to these standards, facility of application in factory production and appearance are matters for manufacturer control.

This SAE Recommended Practice is intended to provide uniform nomenclature and definitions for the primary levels of vehicle identification, with particular application to passenger cars. While this initial terminology applies only to passenger cars, work is in progress to develop supplementary nomenclature and definitions pertaining to truck and/or commercial vehicle terms and terms presently used interchangeably in passenger cars, trucks, or commercial vehicle applications. These supplementary terms will be covered in subsequent revisions to this recommended practice.

This SAE Recommended Practice has been established to provide direction for the design and installation of an identification number (IN) as assigned to vehicle engines, transmissions, and transaxles. The IN is used for tracking or traceability of these components. In adhering to these recommended practices, facility of application in factory production and appearance quality are matters for manufacturer control. Reference SAE J853.
