All specification hardware has the appropriate number stamped or marked on it. The MS prefix is on those with the MIL-SPEC certification. All with the newer PIA certification have the mark with the PS (Parachute Standards) prefix. [Figure 3-64] Most of the current hardware has the mark with the MS prefix. As current stocks deplete, the mark on new production is with the PS prefix.
