Manufacturer's Identity Code (MIC)
A Manufacturer’s Identify Code (MIC) is a unique code that identifies the manufacturer of a boat or vessel. It forms part of the Hull Identification Number (HIN) which is a unique number that identifies an individual vessel.
Manufacturer’s identity codes are crucial in the compliance, safety and security identification of boats in Australia and around the world.
All boat builders and dealers importing boats into Australia must include the MIC in the inscription of the HIN on each boat they build or import.
The BIAWA manages the registration and administration of Manufacturer’s Identity Codes in Western Australia.
