- The second segment equals a two-digit production line code. In this example the code is 01 which means the product was manufactured on production line 1.
- The third segment equals the final digit of the year of production in the Gregorian calendar system. In this example the code is 0 which indicates the year 2020.
- The fourth segment plainly expresses the day of the year of production in the Gregorian calendar system. In this example it shows 265 which indicates day two-hundred and sixty-five.
- To arrive at the specific date of production, use a calendar to convert the day number of the particular year into the date of the year. In this example, day two-hundred and sixty-five of the year 2020 corresponds to 2020-09-21.
- The fifth segment plainly expresses the time of production in twenty-four hour format.
