IFSA serves as the industry clearinghouse for SIN character registrations. Look up a manufacturer below by SIN character or company name.

Prohibited SIN Characters
The following characters are not permitted for use in SIN identification, to avoid confusion with established industry acronyms and markings.
| Characters | Rationale |
|---|---|
| CE | European Community product approval marking |
| D | — |
| EC | ISO acronym for Extended Coverage |
| FM | Acronym for Factory Mutual |
| FR | ISO Acronym for Fast Response |
| HS | Could be confused with Horizontal Sidewall |
| I | Could be confused with number "1" |
| IF | — |
| II | Could be confused with number "11" or roman numeral II |
| IR | ISO Acronym for Special (Intermediate) Response sprinklers |
| K | Use of K with numbers could be confused with K-Factor |
| LH | Potential confusion with the "Light Hazard" Occupancy classification |
| O | Could be confused with number "0" |
| OH | Potential confusion with the "Ordinary Hazard" Occupancy classification |
| OO | ISO Acronym for On/Off sprinklers |
| P | Could be confused with "Pendent" orientation |
| QR | Acronym for "Quick Response" |
| SK | — |
| SP | ISO acronym for Spray Pendent sprinkler |
| SR | Acronym for "Standard Response" |

| 2nd character "I" or "O" | As the number of digits in a SIN can range from 4 to 6, the second digit could be either a letter or a number. In order to later determine, with ease, if the second digit is a "1" versus an "I" or a "0" versus an "O", character designations will no longer be issued with the second character of "I" or "O" (effective August 2007). |
