Design the numbering scheme first
A good scheme is short, human-readable and never reused. Combine a site code, a category code and a sequential number - for example DUD-PMP-00214 - and reserve blocks per category so future assets slot in cleanly.
Decide what goes on the tag
Most estates need the asset number as text, the same number as a barcode or QR, the owning organisation, and a contact route. Anything else usually costs legibility.
Rolling out
Tag in a logical route around the site rather than by asset type, record as you go, and photograph each tag in place. Order a reserved continuation range at the same time so replacements match.
- Survey and record surfaces before ordering
- Reserve a continuation range for future assets
- Apply above +10C to clean, dry, degreased surfaces
- Keep a spare pack of replacements on site
