1A27.2. The first-position of the ERRC Designator indicates whether the item of supply is expendable or
reparable. The term “expendable” refers to the type of accounting employed for a particular item of supply
or NSN during the time it is in-used in the AF inventory.
1A27.2.1. X code (expendable) in the first-position of the ERRC Designator indicates the item is
consumed in use or becomes a part of a higher assembly. All expendable items are accounted for on
supply records until they are issued for use. If an item is recovered, they are again placed on accountable
supply records, repaired, reconditioned and/or disposed of in accordance with the criteria for disposition
of such items.
1A27.2.2. N code (nonexpendable) in the first position of the ERRC Designator indicates the item is
neither consumed in use nor does it lose its identity by installation on a higher assembly. Such items
are carried on supply records prior to issue. Items coded “N” retains their identity as separate entities
throughout their life cycle. Co mmon categories of such items are “shop equipment” and “ground
support equipment.”
1A27.3. The second-position of the ERRC Designator identifies those items that are recoverable through
repair or those items not subject to repair. This position also designates the level of repair or condemnation
of the items of supply when it is no longer economical to repair. Condemnation of the item will normally
be accomplished according to the second position designation. For example, XB3 will be
condemned at base level, XF3 at field level, and XD2 at depot.
1A27.3.1. B code in the second position identifies items not subject to repair.
1A27.3.2. F code in the second position identifies it ems authorized repaired at field level. Most
items coded “F” that cannot be returned to a serviceable condition at this level will be condemned. If
an item coded “F” falls under the RIMCS provision, reference Volume 1, part 2, chapter 3.
1A27.3.3. D code in the second positi on identifies items subject to repair and should be returned to
depot or specialized repair activity. If the depot or specialized repair activity is unable to return the
item to serviceable condition, the depot facility is authorized to condemn the item.
1A27.4. With the exception of support equipment, the relationship between the middle alpha of the
ERRC designator and the maintenance repair code is described in the table below.

(based managed), will have one of the following ERRC designator assigned:
1A27.5.1. Delete.
1A27.5.2. The “XD2” ERRC Designator and the “T” ERRC is applied to expendable depot recoverable
items that are managed under the AFRAMS program, referenced in Volume 3, part five.
