Additional Information for Miscellaneous Battery Retaining Fixtures, Liners and Ancillary Items

NATO Supply Class 6160 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 61, which is dedicated to Electric Wire, And Power And Distribution Equipment.

NATO Supply Class 6160 specifically focuses on Miscellaneous Battery Retaining Fixtures, Liners, and Ancillary Items. These items are used to secure and support batteries in various applications.

Battery retaining fixtures are designed to hold batteries securely in place, preventing movement or damage during transportation or operation. Liners are used to provide insulation or protection for batteries, preventing leakage or corrosion. Ancillary items refer to any additional components or accessories that are used in conjunction with battery retaining fixtures and liners.

The purpose of this supply class is to ensure that NATO member countries have access to standardized and reliable battery retaining fixtures, liners, and ancillary items for their electric wire, power, and distribution equipment needs. By having a specific supply class dedicated to these items, it allows for easier identification, procurement, and interoperability among NATO member nations.
