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 Aftermarket branding levels 1–3, in accordance with the Brand Distinction and
Aftermarket Tool (BDAT), when requested by either a Volvo Group brand or a joint venture brand.
In cases where the supplier shall specify a supplier-part marking in the supplier-provided documentation,
in accordance with this standard, such marking shall be specified upon request from and require the
approval of the Volvo Group.
If the manufacturer needs to put their own marking on a part, for example to facilitate handling, 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 Group brand marking
In this standard Volvo Group brand marking refers to marking with one of the various brands within the
Volvo Group.
Joint venture brand marking

In this standard joint venture brand marking refers to marking with one of the various brands in which the
Volvo Group is engaged through an alliance or a joint venture partnership.
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 Group and joint venture brand markings

When a Volvo Group or joint venture brand marking is required it shall be located in a visible area of the
part.
The marking 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.
Volvo Group
3.3 Supplier brand marking – when applicable

When a manufacturer/supplier with reference to legislation requires the presence of their
trademark/logotype on a part, the Volvo Group shall require compliance with the following conditions for
this to happen:
 The size and location of all supplier-brand markings shall be approved by the respective Volvo
Group brand representatives.
 Only tier-1 supplier brand markings may appear.
 The Volvo Group or joint venture brand marking must be equally prominent or more prominent
than the tier-1 supplier’s marking, irrespective of where the component is installed in the vehicle.
 The tier-1 supplier’s brand marking shall be clearly separate from the Volvo Group brand marking.
 Other tier-1 supplier markings not related to brand marking may be accepted, provided that this
does not jeopardize the form, fit or function of the part. 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 the Volvo Group or its joint venture partner 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

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 on 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 end with a point (surface of part or
limited surface area) or an arrow (edge of part) as shown in the example in figure 2a.
The placement of the marking on the part shall be clearly indicated in the design-engineering
documentation.
The symbol with its leader line shall be placed close to the relevant drawing view. The symbol shall
be numbered, starting with number one, even if the drawing only has one marking.
If different alternative requirements shall be indicated they shall be performed as shown by the example in
figure 1.
Fig 1
Volvo Group
If several different markings as per this standard shall be indicated, or if there is a need to split a marking
in different locations, they shall be considered separate marking requirements and thereby be indicated
separately, as shown by the example in figure 2a.
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 2a.
For indication of the opposite (hidden) surface, a dashed leader line is used as per figure 2b.
Fig. 2a Fig. 2b
The marking requirement as such shall be documented in the PDM system for the part concerned. If the
PDM system lacks this functionality, the marking requirement shall be documented on the drawing or in a
technote.
The indication shall follow the structure in figure 3.

indicated on the drawing by using multiple marking symbols (see figure 2a in section 4).
Volvo Group
6.1 Volvo Group brand marking

The Volvo Group brand markings are legally protected. They are specially designed for each brand. A
correct representation of Volvo Group brand markings helps maintain this protection and is thus an
absolute requirement.
All Volvo Group 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.
Unless otherwise stated, when a brand marking is reproduced by e.g. casting, punching, embossing, 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.
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.
Unless otherwise agreed, the complete indication of the country of origin shall be performed in capital
letters.
The name of the country of origin shall correspond to the short name in English as stated in ISO 3166-1,
List one, first column.
No abbreviation or alpha-2 code, alpha-3 code or numeric code of the country name is permitted. For
example, USA shall be indicated as “UNITED STATES”.
The country of origin marking shall be performed on one line. However, if the marking space is limited the
marking may be performed on a maximum of two lines, where the words “MADE IN” are printed on the
first line and the actual country name is printed on the second line.
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 the 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.
Volvo Group
6.6 Free-text marking

Free-text marking indicated by the designation “0” refers to other marking information specified by the
Volvo Group than that specified using designations 1–50 in table 2.
In these cases, a specification of what information to include in the marking shall be given. This
information shall be placed within quotation-marks.
6.7 Supplementary marking

The designation “99” shall be used when supplementary marking only is applied without basic marking.

8 Brand marking and text requirements

The different brand markings can be downloaded, in various file formats, from Brand Center on the Volvo
Group Intranet.
Suppliers can obtain the brand markings in a suitable file format by requesting it from their Volvo Group
contact.
If the marking contains a brand mark, the specified size in the designation refers to the brand mark. When
there are different marking alternatives for a brand, the required marking shall be indicated by a prefix as
per the relevant table.
Whenever a brand mark has a wordmark or a text element, this shall act as a guide for the text height of
the other information. The text height (H1 and H2) of the other information shall be smaller than the height
(H) of the brand marking. See tables for the respective brands.
Requirements concerning text height (H1 and H2, respectively) can be found in the table for each brand.
For definition of text heights for different information, see figure 6 in section 8.1 Relative position of text on
marked 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.
Note: Should this combination not be possible due to lack of space, a text height of 4 mm shall be
specified for all text. This must, however, be specified for each marking information, i.e.
Identification data, manufacturing data and country of origin.
Volvo Group
8.1 Relative position of brand marking and text on marked part

Figure 6 shows how the information shall be positioned unless otherwise indicated. Normally, all of this
information is not required at the same time. The supplementary marking letters in figure 6 are described
in table 3.
1) According to the relevant trademark requirements or guidelines. See section for each brand.
2) Additional manufacturing data other than country of origin
Fig. 6
If one (or some) of the intermediate lines is not used, the lower one(s) shall be moved up a step (or two).
If some information in the horizontal plane is 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 brand marking shall always be placed by itself on the top line.
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.
8.2 Text style for other text

Lower-case letters shall normally be used with an upper-case initial letter. The text may, however, be
written in upper-case letters if this is better from a technical point of view.
Unless otherwise stated, the typeface Arial or other sans serif typefaces shall be used.
Volvo Group
8.3 Colours
For a correct representation of the Volvo Group corporate colours, the information provided at Brand
Center on the Volvo Group Intranet shall be used.
Suppliers can obtain the information about corporate colours from their Volvo Group contact.
When printed, the VOLVO or the VOLVO PENTA wordmark shall always be represented in one of its
corporate colours.
When printed, the PREVOST logotype must always be represented in black.
When printed, the NOVA BUS logotype must always be represented in black.
If no colour requirement has been specified on the drawing, the marking text shall be applied “colourless”
(in the case of marking methods 1, 2, or 6).
If the drawing specifies one single colour (black or white), this refers to the colour of the text and the
surrounding surface is “colourless” (= substrate colour).
In the case of marking method 5 (stamping, stencilling or painting), and if no colour has been specified,
the marking shall be made black or white and shall contrast with the colour of the substrate.
Unless otherwise stated, the colour requirement for brand marking also applies to the marking text.
8.4 VOLVO and VOLVO PENTA
8.4.1 Brand mark size and clear zone

Sizes shall be chosen from table 5.
Note: Only the sizes specified in table 5 are allowed.
The minimum width of the VOLVO wordmark shall be 12,5 mm, see figure 7a.
The minimum width of the VOLVO PENTA wordmark on two lines shall be 13 mm, see figure 7b.
Fig. 7a VOLVO wordmark Fig. 7b 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 8a and 8b. 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. 8a VOLVO wordmark contour Fig. 8b VOLVO PENTA wordmark contour
Volvo Group
