MESC

The acronym MESC stands for Material and Equipment Standards and Code. It is a tool of the materials department for standardisation and handling of materials used in business. It was created in 1932 for internal use by Shell, but later on licensed to every company who wished to pay for it. The system is a catalogue of specifications in the English language, to allow buyers to purchase standardised materials all over the world. A cable coded 68.68.61.301.9 would be the same cable as 68.68.61.301.1, but with local requirements, e.g. according to the local colour standard.
