If a document covers Ordnance and Material, which SSIC should be used?

• A. 8000
• B. 1000
• C. 2000
• D. 4000

Answer: (A)

SSIC numbers group documents by subject, so you pick the code that matches the main topic of the document. For a document dealing with Ordnance and Material, the 8000-series is the one designated for that topic, making it the most accurate and consistent choice for filing and later retrieval. The other ranges correspond to different subject areas, so using them would place the document in an unrelated category and make it harder to find with related materials.
