6 Requirements for the use of the logo
6.1 General Requirements The general requirements for the use of logos are as follows:
a) Signs should be placed in areas requiring human identification, judgment, or procedural operation, or where danger may exist; signs should also be placed where astronaut monitoring and operation are required. All equipment and loads should be labeled with the Chinese name of the product.
b) The markings should be placed in a prominent position on or near the part to be identified, and should be clearly visible when identifying and handling the product.
c) The location of the markings should be chosen to minimize interference with other functions, avoid the product's reference surface and mating surface, and avoid obstructing other information. Information is selected from areas on the outer surface of the product that are no longer being processed.
d) The fixing surface of the sign is generally a flat surface. When it must be fixed to a curved surface, the content of the sign should be fully readable.
e) When the product is covered, a mark should be placed on the corresponding part of the covering material.
f) The markings used outside the spacecraft should be easily visible to astronauts or visible using a reflector.
g) The labeling process should not generate any extraneous material or contamination on the product, nor should it affect the product's functionality or performance.
h) Spare signs are used to replace the original signs or to add additional sign information, such as when the original sign is detached, damaged, or the QR code is not working properly. Backup flags can be used for situations such as identification, addition of on-orbit notification messages, or addition of on-orbit products to the electronic information management system; multiple The spare signs should be able to be used in combination.
i) Products going up and the same products used in orbit should be distinguished by the product code and batch number in the identification information mark.
j) The description of the product logo appearing in the product-related documents should be consistent with the logo actually used on the product.
