IFPI Code

International Federation of the Phonographic Industry

synonym: SID-Code (Source IDentification Code)

Used for marketing strategy, quality control and Anti-Piracy Compliance Program, there are two kinds of

codes: a Mastering Code and a Mold Code.

The Mastering Code is created by using the master recorder, so this code will be present on the stamper.

The Mold Code is etched on the mirror block side of the mold.

Tip
Each Mastering SID Code that is assigned will consist of the digits “IFPI” followed by a four or five digit code commencing with the letter “L”.
Tip
Mould SID Code will consist of the letters “IFPI” followed by a four or five digit code.

The first two digits (in the case of a four digit SID Code) or the first three digits (in the case of a five digit SID Code) are assigned to the operator of the manufacturing or mastering plant. The last two digits of this code are allocated to give each mould on the site.

Using alphanumeric digits consisting of the numbers 0 through 9 and the letters of the Western alphabet A through Z,excluding “I”, “O”, “S” and “Q”, the plant has the ability to assign unique codes to 1,024 different mould code.
