This applies also to the size and position of the mark‐ing.It must be ensured that the marking remains legible over the service life of the part. The marking must be applied to the parts in a permanent and non-removable manner using suitable manufacturing methods, e. g. embossing, stamping, electric discharge machining, casting.Typeface H (medium-spaced lettering) acc. to DIN 1451-4 is to be used for the markings. If required,the respective manufacturing method, e.g., "cast", "etched", "embossed", "stamped" or "electric dis‐charge machined" must be specified in the drawing. If there is no such specification in the drawing,the choice of the manufacturing method is left to the manufacturer.Further notes regarding the marking of parts are given in VW 10500.Date marking using symbols Date of manufacturing (month, year)See Figure 1 and Figure 2.123 3.11)Dimensions in Tables and Figures are given in mm.Page 2VW 10560: 2010-12Figure 1 – Type AThe months of manufacture must be marked in clockwise direction, with the markings being raised between 0,5 mm and 0,8 mm.The number of markings corresponds to the number of the calendar month in which the part wasmanufactured.Figure 2 – Type BRotatable and replaceable arrow with year number installed in the respective marking tool.Table 1Nominal ∅ d 1456810121416182025304050d 233,84,567,5910,51213,51519233038d 322,534567891013152025a 0,70,811,21,41,822,533,54568b 1,21,41,622,533,5456781012,5c 0,811,21,622,5333456810e ≈0,50,60,711,21,51,722,32,533,856f ≈0,20,250,30,40,50,60,70,80,911,21,522,5d 2 ≈ 0,75d 1d 3 ≈d 12c ≈ 0,2d 1e ≈d 18f ≈ 0,05 d 1Page 3VW 10560: 2010-12Date grid (month and year)See Figure 3.Figure 3 – Type CDate marking (uncoded)Week, year (uncoded)See Table 2.Table 2 – Type DMarking Example NoteWeek, year27/0727th week of the year 2007Shift, day, week, yearSee Table 3.Table 3 – Type Fa)Alternative notation for shift: I = A, shift II = B, shift III = C b)The first day of a week is Monday.Shift, day, week, year (double stamp)See Table 4.3.2 44.14.24.3 Page 4VW 10560: 2010-12Table 4 – Type Ga)Alternative notation for shift: I = A, shift II = B, shift III = C b)The first day of a week is Monday.Date marking (encoded and partially encoded)Single-digit type MonthSee Table 5.Table 5 – Type JMonth Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Code A B C D E F G H J K L MYearSee Table 6.Table 6 – Type KYear 199119921993199419951996199719981999200020012002Code M N P R S T V W X Y 12Year 200320042005200620072008200920102011201220132014Code 3456789A B C D E Year 201520162017201820192020 Code FGHJKLTwo-digit type (year, month)See Table 7, Table 8, and Table 9.5 5.1 5.1.15.1.25.2Page 5VW 10560: 2010-12Table 7 – Type LMonth Year1991199219931994199519961997199819992000January MA NA PA RA SA TA VA WA XA YA February MB NB PB RB SB TB VB WB XB YB March MC NC PC RC SC TC VC WC XC YC April MD ND PD RD SD TD VD WD XD YD May ME NE PE RE SE TE VE WE XE YE June MF NF PF RF SF TF VF WF XF YF July MG NG PG RG SG TG VG WG XG YG August MH NH PH RH SH TH VH WH XH YH September MJ NJ PJ RJ SJ TJ VJ WJ XJ YJ October MK NK PK RK SK TK VK WK XK YK November ML NL PL RL SL TL VL WL XL YL DecemberMMNMPMRMSMTMVMWMXMYM Table 8 – Type LMonth Year20012002200320042005200620072008200920102011201220132014January 1A 2A 3A 4A 5A 6A 7A 8A 9A AA BA CA DA EA February 1B 2B 3B 4B 5B 6B 7B 8B 9B AB BB CB DB EB March 1C 2C 3C 4C 5C 6C 7C 8C 9C AC BC CC DC EC April 1D 2-D 3-D 4D 5D 6D 7D 8D 9D AD BD CD DD ED May 1E 2E 3E 4E 5E 6E 7E 8E 9E AE BE CE DE EE June 1F 2F 3F 4F 5F 6F 7F 8F 9F AF BF CF DF EF July 1G 2G 3G 4G 5G 6G 7G 8G 9G AG BG CG DG EG August 1H 2H 3H 4H 5H 6H 7H 8H 9H AH BH CH DH EH September 1J 2J 3J 4J 5J 6J 7J 8J 9J AJ BJ CJ DJ EJ October 1K 2K 3K 4K 5K 6K 7K 8K 9K AK BK CK DK EK November 1L 2L 3L 4L 5L 6L 7L 8L 9L AL BL CL DL EL December1M2M3M4M5M6M7M8M9MAMBMCMDMEM Page 6VW 10560: 2010-12Table 9 – Type LMonthYear 201520162017201820192020January FA GA HA JA KA LA February FB GB HB JB KB LB March FC GC HC JC KC LC April FD GD HD JD KD LD May FE GE HE JE KE LE June FF GF HF JF KF LF July FG GG HG JG KG LG August FH GH HH JH KH LH September FJ GJ HJ JJ KJ LJ October FK GK HK JK KK LK November FL GL HL JL KL LL DecemberFMGMHMJMKMLMFour- and five-digit type: year, calendar week, day of the week, shiftThis type of date marking consists of the following elements: year code according to type K of this standard (see Table 6), unencoded specification of the calendar week from 01 to 52, specification of the day of the week from 1 to 7 (type P, see Figure 4). The marking may optionally comprise an additional shift specification from A to C, i.e., shifts 1 to 3 (type R, see Figure 5).Figure 4 – Type PLegend 11st digit: year acc. to VW 10560, type K, Table 6.

Batteries formed from Monday to Wednesday receive the date marking of the current week. Bat‐teries formed from Thursday to Sunday receive the date marking of the following week. Sealed bat‐teries acc. to VW 75073 deviate from this specification due to the quarantine period common for this type of battery. For these batteries, the date marking specifies the week at the end of the quarantine period in which a test with an OK was performed. The procedure used for the formation date also applies to the specification of the week. Markings applied to the battery cover near the negative terminal post by means of hot embossing are permissible.Date marking for engine and transmission control units Day, month, yearSee Table 11.Table 11 – Type NMarking Example NoteDay, month, year03.11.073rd November 2007Shift, day, month, yearSee Table 12.Table 12 – Type Oa)alternative notation for shift I = A, shift II = B, shift III = C6.2 6.2.16.3 6.3.16.3.2Page 9VW 10560: 2010-12Drawing specificationMarkings are specified in drawings using the CAD text macro NO-E2 according to VW 01014.Figure 7 – Text macro NO-E21.Drawing specification for a part marking using the type A date of manufacturing with the nominal diameter d 1 = 16mm:Date marking VW 10560 – A162.Drawing specification for a part marking using the date grid with the nominal size C1:Date marking VW 10560 – C13.Drawing specification for a part marking using the type D (F, J, K, L, N, O, P, R) date marking with a font size of 3 mm:Date marking VW 10560 – D3 (F3, J3, K3, L3, N3, O3, P3, R3)4.Drawing specification for a part marking using the type G date marking with a diameter d = 10 mm:Date marking VW 10560 – G10Other applicable documentsThe following documents cited in this Standard are necessary to its application.Some of the cited documents are translations from the German original.
