Subcategory (SCAT) Codes

provides an excellent means of documenting a sight inventory of the item. Refer to Afloat Supply Procedures, NAVSUP Publication 485, chapter 6, section V, subsection I, 6092, for the procedures on filing out the NAVSUP Form 306. 2. Prepare a second inventory, known as a test equipment status inventory, along with the NAVSUP Form 306. You can prepare this inventory on standard, ruled 5 x 8-inch index cards, as shown in figure 7-4. The example shown is a reference record of “SCAT at allowance.” (SCAT codes are explained below.) All items of test equipment for a particular SCAT are listed on this card. The example shown is for SCAT code 4369. When you prepare a card, type in the SCAT code, SCAT description, allowance quantity, and headers (model, serial, subcustody, and remarks). Then use a pencil to write the information under each header, because the information is subject to change. File each card in SCAT number order under one of the following categories: SCAT at allowance (the example shown in figure 7-4 falls into this category, with three items allowed and three items listed.) Zero SCAT on board, GINO (GPETE initial outfitting) 72 Cog Zero SCAT on board, GEIR, (GPETE end-item replacement) 72 Cog Zero SCAT on board, Not 72 Cog Under Allowance, GINO 72 Cog Under Allowance, GEIR 72 Cog Under Allowance, Not 72 Cog Keep this second inventory up-to-date the NAVSUP Form 306. Subcategory (SCAT) Codes along with SCAT codes are four-digit subcategory codes used to identify a range of measurements by functional category. Test equipment is assigned SCAT codes in the 4000 - 4999 series of numbers. SCAT codes are normally used wherever references are made to test equipment. You’ll find SCAT codes in the PEETE index and in NAVAIR 16-1-525. They are also listed in the Shore Test Equipment Index (STEAP–Shore Test Equipment Allowance Program), which assigns shore family groups (SFGs) and provides a method of grouping shore electronic test equipment of similar measurement capabilities.
