A typical NAS523 compliant fastener part number (like those seen in Scribd's NAS523 guide ) is structured to be read easily.

NAS523 is a specification developed by the Network-Attached Storage (NAS) Forum, an organization that aimed to standardize NAS technology. The specification defines the requirements for designing and implementing NAS systems, ensuring interoperability, and promoting compatibility among different NAS devices. NAS523 provides a framework for NAS device manufacturers to develop products that can seamlessly integrate with other devices on a network.

NAS523 solves this by encoding all of this information into a compact, . This cross-like symbol is often the only thing visible on a drawing to designate a fastener location. This system is so effective that major aircraft manufacturers like Boeing directly reference it in their design engineering manuals, often integrating it with their own internal standards.
