What does the Controlled Item Inventory Code (CIIC) designate?

The Controlled Item Inventory Code (CIIC) is specifically designed to indicate the degree of security required for high-risk supply items. It helps in establishing protocols for the handling, storage, and transportation of these items to ensure they are properly safeguarded against theft, loss, or misuse. The CIIC system categorizes items based on their level of risk, providing a structured approach to inventory management where security measures correspond to the potential hazard or value of the items in question.

This framework is crucial for maintaining compliance with safety and security regulations, particularly for items that could pose significant risks if compromised. While other options reflect different aspects of inventory and hazard management, they do not accurately characterize the specific role of the CIIC in designating security requirements. The CIIC therefore plays a vital role in protecting high-risk materials effectively within the overarching logistics and supply chain management systems.
