STANAG 2953
STANAG 2953 identification of ammunition
Ammunition manufacturers and packagers, and defence buyers who specify NATO-interoperable ammunition marking.
STANAG 2953 is the NATO agreement on identifying and marking military ammunition, covering AOP-2 edition D. NATO has not released it publicly; this page describes it from the Czech defence standards index.

NATO has not released this STANAG publicly. It is NATO UNCLASSIFIED, and organisations that need it obtain it through their national standardization authority.
What it is
STANAG 2953 is the NATO Standardization Agreement on the identification of ammunition. Edition 4 was promulgated on 17 February 2017, its sponsoring committee is MC, MCLSB, CSS, I-AMMOP, and it covers the publication AOP-2, edition D. NATO has not released STANAG 2953 publicly, so this page describes it from the Czech defence standards index and from public NATO agreements that cite it.
Where it is cited
The Czech defence standards index lists ČOS 131502, on the identification marking of military ammunition, as the Czech implementation of STANAG 2953 edition 4, AOP-2(D). The index describes ČOS 131502 as setting out the method for marking military ammunition, including its packaging. Its scope is national: ammunition introduced and subsequently supplied for use to organisational units of the Czech Ministry of Defence after the Czech standard takes effect. The index entry gives no further detail about the marking method itself.
Public NATO agreements that list STANAG 2953 (AOP-2) among their related documents include the small arms ammunition interchangeability agreements STANAG 2310 (7.62 mm x 51), STANAG 4090 (9 mm x 19), STANAG 4172 (5.56 mm x 45) and STANAG 4383 (12.7 mm x 99), as well as STANAG 4509, STANAG 4820 and STANAG 4823, the multi-calibre manual of proof and inspection for NATO small arms ammunition. STANAG 2617 (ALP-16) lists it alongside the NATO explosives safety and munitions risk management (ESMRM) policy and STANAG 4440 on safety principles for storing military ammunition and explosives. None describes what STANAG 2953 requires.

Three partners, three Member States, one evidence base
The EDF consortium rule is usually quoted as three entities from three Member States. It has a second limb about control that the word independent quietly hides, and two exceptions that disapply it entirely.
